All eyes around the world be watching a Madrid derby with a distinctly international feel - up to 16 nationalities spread across both clubs. Atlético have the most international squad (12 nationalities to Madrid's nine), while Los Blancos have more national talent (ten to Atlético's six).

Real Madrid

Madrid's shift towards home-reared talent is striking, particularly in view of past squads with a particularly international flavour. Of the ten Spaniards in the dressing room, seven of them  (Casilla, Yáñez, Carvajal, Nacho, Lucas Vázquez, Morata and Mariano) hail from the ranks. The other three  (Ramos, Asensio and Isco) were all bought from other clubs at a young age. That said, only four Spaniards are likely to be in the starting eleven (Carvajal, Isco, Lucas Vázquez and Ramos). Real have a total of nine nationalities. 

Atlético Madrid

Atlético boast 12 different nationalities, with a mere six Spanish nationals, although the majority do have a key role to play, for instance Juanfran, Saúl, Koke, Gabi and Torres. Los Rojiblancos are also pushing their brand around the world and in countries like Montenegro and Slovenia they have more exposure through Savic and Oblak, respectively.
