Atletico Madrid must prepare for a trip to the Santiago Bernabeu on matchday seven of the 2018-19 season after the new season's fixture list pitted them against their city rivals Real Madrid on September 30, following a trip to Valencia on the opening day.
Diego Simeone's men, who finished second in 2017-18, will travel to Mestalla on the weekend of August 19 to face last season's fourth-placed side as they embark on a tricky start to the season that includes games against Celta Vigo on matchday three and Eibar on matchday four.
Atleti travel to Villarreal on October 21 before taking on Barcelona at home on November 25, while the second half of the season sees them entertain Real Madrid on February 10 and visit Camp Nou on April 7.
Should Simeone succeed in guiding Atleti to their first LaLiga title in five years, they will celebrate with a final day trip to Ciutat de Valencia and a game against Levante.
