And in between there was a quarterfinal tie that the whites seemed to resolve with a hat trick from Cristiano Ronaldo on the road However, in the second leg Atleti went 2-0 up inside 20 minutes under a torrential downpour. The night invited the epic until it arrived Benzema with a play in which he defeats three rival defenders, poetry for the ages.
The two teams reached the round of 16 of the Cup after the exhibition they showed last week in Arabia. A Madrid derby rarely leaves anyone indifferent. Madrid arrives loaded with its 9 goals in the Super Cup, but visits the rival that competes with it the most and makes it difficult. Thinking of a favorite becomes impossible. The whites have recovered Vinicius and they have Bellinghambut Atlético have gone more than 20 games without losing at their stadium, in fact, they have won almost all of them and have Griezmann already Morata in good shape. The strength of the Metropolitano, the magic of the Cup, the current champion of the competition and an irreducible Atleti. This is the Madrid derby, now one of the best in Europe.
