As I predicted in the previous post, this match will not be easy at all for El Real. which in the end Diego Simoene was able to overthrow Real Madrid at the Metropolitan and sometimes Atletico. This derby match is always a hot match and also a battle for the high prestige of city rivals. Even though in the last two matches in two different competitions, ATM's performance was unstable, in the Madrid derby it always showed differences. Usually the match ends hard and hot, with a high-tension playing atmosphere. Uniquely, the three goals scored by Morata and Griezmann were headers. It was clear in this match that Madrid's defense was careless in high balls. that's why Morata and Griezmann easily scored the winning goal for them. Apart from that, Saul Niguez contributed a lot from his two assists.

On the other hand, Real Madrid had difficulty penetrating Atletico's defense, even the goal that was created came from a kick outside the penalty box by Toni Kroos. Even though Madrid had more control over ball possession, even having 20 shots, there wasn't a single big chance even though 5 shots were on target. Well, one thing that makes me quite confused is why Don Carlo didn't prepare his starting eleven as usual. However, he prefers to rotate some of his players, especially the front striker.
As a result, Madrid lost the first match and they had to temporarily give up the top position of the standings for Barcelona. one more thing, Madrid really needs an established, pure striker who can be relied on on the front lines. But despite all that, perhaps with Vini Jr's recovery from his injury Madrid can show another good performance.
