Monterrey will play a special match against Atlético San Luis this weekend at Estadio BBVA, marked by the debut of Sergio Ramos. The former Real Madrid player will face one of the teams belonging to Atlético de Madrid, reviving memories of his time at the Merengue club and the victories in the Champions League over the Colchoneros.
The duel is considered almost poetic due to the history behind it, with Ramos dramatically celebrating the eleventh European Cup. The match is scheduled for February 22, 2025, at 19:00 hours at Estadio BBVA. Rayados is presented as the favorite in this match, while the northern team finds itself in a qualifying zone, although more is expected from a team of its level.
The rivalry between Ramos and Atlético de Madrid is deep, as now in Liga MX he will face San Luis, owned by Atlético de Madrid. The memories of the finals' victories in the Champions League in Lisbon in 2014 and San Siro in 2016 will remain alive for the defender, marking historic moments in football. The match against Atlético San Luis generates anticipation for Sergio Ramos' debut in Mexican football and for Monterrey's need for points to climb the standings.
Martín Demichelis' team is obliged to win this match, playing at home, with Ramos' debut and the urgency to gain points. There is a special connection with the Madrid Derby that will also be seen in the Champions League.
