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
A quick goal from Alvaro Morata changed the course of this match because Atletico were able to control the match well after leading 1-0. Diego Simeone's troops did not reduce their aggressive tempo because Atletico Madrid acted more aggressively after leading 1-0 where they continued to launch attacks which in the 18th minute Griezmann was able to double the lead.
The defeat with a score of 3-1 was really unexpected because Real Madrid was able to perform quite well by winning the match in the previous match. But Atletico Madrid was able to provide valuable lessons for Real Madrid in this match because they immediately pressed by using space to score goals. For Ancelotti, he has to evaluate the team's performance in the next match because if they fail to win in the next match, Barcelona will likely widen the gap with them.
