The Santiago Bernabeu stadium will be the venue for Sunday’s eagerly anticipated La Liga match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be playing in his first local derby for the Spanish giants and ahead of the match, he is poised to put up a great show.

CR9 scored twice in midweek to help Real Madrid rule over Getafe in what was also a Madrid local derby.

Ronaldo reportedly assured President Florentino Perez that La Liga would be Real Madrid’s at the end of the season. As the campaign is drawing to a close, every match has become enormously vital.

A great performance from Cristiano Ronaldo will certainly be helpful for the Spanish giants to top their local rivals Atletico Madrid on Sunday night.

If Ronaldo can perform even better than he did against Getafe on Thursday, he might emerge as the hero of the derby.
