Real Madrid's match yesterday was actually worse than expected. They created many offensive positions throughout the match, but they could not show enough care in the final shots. Brahim Diaz scored a goal in the early minutes, but when he conceded a goal in the extra time of the match, all of Real Madrid's plans were turned upside down. Arda Güler is still not given enough time, I think it might be best for him to go to another team on loan.
Brahim Diaz helped Real Madrid to open the match but his team mates failed to secure three points at very last minutes. At least their central defenders must play more quickly in that situation as it is not a hard one for them to handle. They hesitated for several seconds and gave a perfect chance for Atletico Madrid to equalize the match. This draw from a big clash is not too bad for them as they still lead the league and stay above Girona.

In fact, Real Madrid gave a very good game in the early minutes; it was clear when Brahim Diaz managed to penetrate the opponent's defense and score a goal, but after that, in the mid-to-final minutes, it seemed like Real Madrid had difficulty penetrating Atletico Madrid's defense, even though it looked like they had tried several times. When he kicked to get a goal, Carlo Ancelotti's intervention didn't seem to have a very good effect because he still had difficulty penetrating the opponent's defense until the match ended.
Vinincius Jr. was reserved in their debut squad but he suddenly got an injury during warm up time and missed this big clash. His absence in very last minutes before the match start actually affects original plan of Carlo. Brahim shown his good performance but anyway, I believe Real Madrid would have had stronger attacking power if they have had Vinicius on field.
