Media are talking about Real Madrid being punished by Atletico Madrid rather than players being punished.. After all it isn't an important competition comparing to La Liga or UEFA Champions League.
I think that game will be a lesson for Ancelotti and Real Madrid players since the team couldn't keep a good form until the end of the game at the opposite of the last year where they made nice comebacks! I think Benzema lost Real Madrid and Real Madrid lost Benzema this season!
Media always posted what can be more viral. It may be more interesting to talk than discussing about the punishment of the players.

You're right. The defeat must be a big lesson for Ancelotti. He mustn't speculate to decide the lineup or the starting players. I see Ancelotti tried to keep Kepa on the bench, he prefers to choose Lunin. He also let's Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Bellingham to play since the beginning of the match. I think these 3 players deserved to play from the bench, they already played hard in the previous match (against Barcelona).
Yes, Real Madrid lost Benzema and Ronaldo. There is no current striker who has the same level as them. That's why it is not enough to have Joselu only. Real Madrid needs a better striker.
