last night's match in the super cup. which brought together the madrid derby between real madrid and atletico madrid actually went exciting and tight in normal time 90 minutes ended with a score of 3-3 this indicates that both teams played openly so as to produce many goals. in extra time alone atletico madrid became sluggish maybe because the goal was broken first and the time limit was also not much so it ended up being 5-3 for real madrid victory
It was one of the best Derby matches at the start of the year. Even though Atletico Madrid lost that match, I still feel they lost with great honor. Because after all, Atletico Madrid has put up very strong resistance which even kept the score level in normal time. Both teams have played very well and were very aggressive from the start. And these two teams really played like they were in a UCL match. Well, this match really wasn't boring from the start to the end.And Atletico Madrid might be able to avenge their defeat in this match in the near future. Because Atletico Madrid will face Real Madrid again in the 16th round of the Copa Del Rey. And I hope this match will be as exciting as the last match.
Athletico is so used to loosing with Real Madrid that they probably do not expect a lot from the derby
Still, I would not speak in terms of honourability but rather o possibilities to be a recognised rival in the international sphere. I think Athletic is far from being a rival that is taken seriously by others when they are not playing locally and that is more important than a single game.
