Atletico Madrid 3 : 1 Real Madrid Full time
It is all done and Atletico Madrid successfully went home with their deserved 3 points. Although Real Madrid fought so hard to either close the winning gap or to have a draw but it was unfortunate they didn't do it. The type of Real Madrid squad that can upturn such a result even with 20mins to end the match is not in the pitch.
It appears that Ancelotti wasn't actually happy. He honestly didn't expect the winning but then he should have known well that Atletico Madrid has now got a good squad with a very fine squad depth. Just imagine Memphis coming in for Morata and also Correa coming from the bench should be able to say the quality and squad depth of Atletico Madrid.
I never thought Atletico Madrid would be so good in this encounter after seeing Madrid dominating their previous games, I just thought this game would end in a draw but Diego Simeone came with a different game plan which really worked for him and his squad, not that defending style of play we all know ATM for, I believe this change would go a long way for Diego Simeone.
To me Madrid has never been a threat this season with the absence of Big Benz even with the injured Vinicius Jr, it was going to be very hard for them to even beat ATM or Barcelona.
The Madrid side doesn't have that spark of last season and I feel they are going to face another huge blow again.
There's no doubt that Atletico Madrid's Spanish La Liga win tonight against Real Madrid was their best performance of the season. They played like a team that needed the three points by all means and was the best through out the game.
Real Madrid for the first time lost a league game tonight and has lost the first position in the league table to Barcelona who scored three late goals in space of 8 minutes to win their league game yesterday against Celta Vigo. This season's Spanish La Liga campaign promises to be a very interesting one
