Real Madrid should have been the team that controlled the match, but the result disappointed the fans. In this match, coach Diego Simeone and his team won thanks to their sharp "header" weapon. I don't think they're that good at aerial combat. Toni Kroos's honorable goal was all Real could do.
The most significant difference is that star Jude Bellingham is absent, with no assists or shots. His only highlight was a yellow card at the end of the match after a harsh tackle. The attack faced many difficulties without Vinicius due to injury. The whole team needs him to recover quickly.
Los Blancos' loss of important players is seriously affecting the team, causing them to struggle in league games. However, they may be motivated to improve, having effective objectives to hit this season. Jude Bellingham contributed 0 shots on goal and only had one shot that was wide out. Diego Simeone's players didn't allow them a chance to breathe, kept pressing, and used their goal opportunities, Sául Nguez is MOTM, having delivered two fantastic assists to the frontlines and having complete control of the midfield. In the Madrid derby, Real Madrid was defeated by Atletico Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti's performance has dipped.
We must admit if atletico is way stronger compared with real madrid in this match. The result was not lying. Atletico struggled to advance through open play, so they resorted to crossing, which worked well because Real Madrid had no one to defend against Morata.
Griezmann was always doing crossing for him, and morata was scoring two goals. I dunno what things motivated atletico madrid to perform as good as the last match.
It's very different with atletico once it has faced valencia.
