Before entering the Madrid derby, Atletico had a rather difficult start to the season, while Real Madrid was the only team to win all 5 matches.
Atletico also only won once in the last 14 encounters with Real in La Liga, making everything even more predictable.
However, just 4 minutes after entering the match, the home team opened the scoring when Alvaro Morata headed into the net of his former team.
Less than 15 minutes later, it was Antoine Griezmann’s turn to speak, he received Saul’s assist and headed the ball into the bottom corner of the goal.
The red and white shirt team really attacked their opponents well. It took the excellence of Kepa Arrizabalaga to keep Atletico from increasing the score to 3-0.
In the 35th minute, Toni Kroos caught the ball with his chest and skillfully aligned before launching a powerful shot from outside the penalty area to narrow the gap for the White Vultures.
At the end of the first half, Real Madrid seemed to have equalized, but Antonio Rudiger was offside and the goal was denied.
Jude Bellingham has had a pretty quiet day.
Right at the beginning of the second half, Morata once again made the home field explode with his second header, increasing the score to 3-1. Saul is the creator.
Carlo Ancelotti made all five changes but no more goals were scored.
Real suffered the first defeat of the La Liga season at the hands of Atletico, thereby falling to 3rd place, while the red and white shirt team rose to 5th.
