Atlético de Madrid will begin the season at home against Málaga CF at the Metropolitano.
About this event
The Riyadh Air Metropolitano will open its doors for Atlético de Madrid’s first home match of the season. The red-and-whites will host Málaga CF next Wednesday, 19 August, at 21:00, in a match that will mark the Málaga side’s return to the top tier of Spanish football after an eight-year absence.
The team managed by Diego Simeone will thus face its first major match in front of its supporters in a new LaLiga EA Sports campaign, while Málaga will compete again among the country’s best clubs after several years outside the elite.
The fixture will bring together two teams with different histories at the Madrid stadium: an Atlético established in the Primera División and a Málaga beginning a new chapter with the hope of staying in the top competition. The match will be one of the first opportunities to see both sides’ new developments after the summer.
