Atletico Madrid has had a poor start to the season, only managing a draw against underdog teams and even suffering a defeat to Espanyol in their first La Liga match. So who would have thought that they would defeat Atletico Madrid by a landslide score of 5-2? Before the match began, everyone was rooting for Atlético Madrid and assumed that Madrid would win fairly easily, but that was all a wrong prediction. Once again, under the guidance of coach Diego Simeone, Atlético Madrid managed to defeat Real Madrid.
This was no ordinary victory; it was proof that Atlético Madrid remains one of the best teams in Spanish football. At this point, Real Madrid's position at the top of the standings is truly under threat. If Barcelona manages to defeat Real Sociedad today, Real Madrid's position at the top of the standings will be temporarily displaced.
