(3-1): A high-flying Atleti stopped Madrid in its tracks

The derby stayed at home. It’s appropriate. success of Atlético de Madrid in front of real Madrid (3-1) with two goals from Morata and another one at Griezmann. Cross scored for the whites, who were outplayed from the opening whistle, although they had their chances late in the first half. The colchoneros did not waste the defensive facilities granted by the one who until this weekend was leading the championship and arrived at the Metropolitano with a complete victory. he’Atlético Aviación’ (the three headed goals), which nipped him in the bud, he believes again after a difficult week and is hooked on LaLiga.

There was hardly any time to see how the high pressure proposed by Atlético worked or the five ways in which it came out. Ancelotti In the beginning. because Morata He scored 1-0 in the 4th minute. Received Linen, who fielded a measured ball forward, whose clearance and finish were outstanding. The goal changed the script set by Simeone, and Atlético bounced back from recent near misses. Turnovers didn’t help at first either, but with another setback, came the second. Again on the left, Saúl puts it in luxury so that Griezmann, also with the head, put it in the same place as Morata. 2-0 and the Madrid He didn’t even know. Yes, the Metropolitan, which floated.

[+] Watch the match summary:

The white team was unable to produce anything against a retreating Atlético that caught the back of Lucas and Fran Garcia was flying Saúl was the third, but he was victorious Kepa. He and kokewho was recovering from his injury, shined to support that core which was severely outnumbered by troops.

But the red and white were so far behind that Madrid saw their best option was to try from the front. This is how the first came to Madrid. And the second. In the third, Cross it did not fail. He accepted, he threatened to leave Llorente and unleashed an unstoppable right hand on Oblak. The goal did not sit well with Atlético, who continued to play the same game. So is Madrid, who now have the wind in their favor. The German tries again, but this time it is ‘blocked’ for the Slovenian goalkeeper.

The colchoneros shouted for rest, when Camavinga He pushed a loose ball into the net on the spot. But the assistant raised the flag. Signaled positional offside Rudigerwho are at war Nice to reach that ball. Did you intervene in the action? Yes. Is it decisive? That’s it… Controversial decision. One of those interpretations, as strange as it may seem, fell on Atlético’s side in a derby. The Colchonero draw had a preview (the break), while Madrid were left with honey on their lips.

The second half, nothing Coke and Modric, started like the first, with a goal from Atlético. Another one from Morata. Another headshot. Other help from Saul. Ancelotti couldn’t believe it. The same game is three times. Life remained the same, as birthday boy Julio Iglesias sang. And it could be worse for visitors, because Nice He hits the crossbar from a corner kick.

So the Italian went for it. Triple change. Tchouameni, Mendy and Nacho in the field. The last two, to stop bleeding bands. Simeone also moved a piece there, giving entry to Azpillicueta through Molina. Atlético had the same problem as before. I am far behind. Any shot, any cross… The red and white did not leave their field, and thus the game would be very long for them. had it Rodrygo. Then Tchouameni and Rudiger, both from afar.

The merengue team tried, but they couldn’t create dangerous chances, beyond those shots. Atlético is also absent, the match is far from being closed because they have a hard time getting into the visiting area.

Brahmawho just left, challenged Gimenez By race. He finished off (and Oblak stopped) and the Uruguayan showed signs of fatigue in his first start after recovering from injury. He said enough and went inside belt instead, go through Witsel in the middle of the back.

Minutes passed and Madrid showed no signs of life in attack against an Atlético that had long since given up hope of defending the result, which was no small thing. Six minutes of stoppage time.

The red and white handled the game well, against a rival who had given up. Memphis may put the icing on the cake, but it doesn’t matter. ANDl Atlético won the derby. Worthy, knew how to take advantage of the mistakes of a Madrid that could never build and that the Colchoneros were beaten fairly. Madrid lose the lead. Atlético flew and believed again.

AND. MADRID
