As in the last derby played in Santiago Bernabéuhe Atletico Madrid He once again saved a point in added time to leave with honey on his lips. the real Madrid (1-1). This time it happened at the Metropolitano and with Angel Correa as protagonist. The Argentinian, with the suspense due to VAR, caused delirium in the red and white temple to give the final blow to a match marked by embarrassment in the stands. [Así hemos vivido el empate entre el Atlético de Madrid y el Real Madrid].
And the game was stopped for more than 20 minutes in the second half after the radicals of the colchonero team threw several lighters and other objects at the goal of Thibaut Courtois. An event that took place just at the time of Militao’s goal celebration.
The Brazilian central defender gave the Whites the lead after a superb cross from Vinicius after the hour mark. A goal which left Ancelotti’s men one point behind Barça in the fight for the lead, but which proved insufficient after tripping once again on the same rock as last year.
some ideas
A high-tension match was expected at the Metropolitano, but the waters were calmer than expected during the first forty-five minutes of football. A first act full of intensity, but in which both teams were more determined not to make mistakes than to propose and get closer to the rival area.
Simeone surprised with a four-man defense and by moving Marcos Llorente to the center of the field. The young white player served to give muscle to the core of Atlético and make Madrid’s playmaking too uncomfortable, which fell on the face of veteran Luka Modric.
The Croatian tried to move Ancelotti’s team, but it was from the boots of Fede Valverde that the Merengue team’s only shots came in the first half. In the 17th minute, he forced Oblak to stretch after a kick from the edge of the area and, after about half an hour of play, he scared the Colchoneros fans with one more free kick from 30 meters which approached the goal. defended by the Slovenian.

If Real Madrid had little inspiration in attack during the first act, the same goes for the athletic side. It was difficult for Atleti to create scoring chances and Julián Álvarez was the biggest headache for Madrid’s defense. The “spider” was on the verge of giving the first “spoiler” of the derby after a great individual action after 9 minutes of play which ended with a good foot from Courtois.
During this time, Vinicius lived indifferent to the whistles of the 70,211 spectators who filled the stands of the red and white stronghold. The Brazilian did not make any bad gestures and even showed complicity with Le Normand and Griezmann in certain actions. He did not have much participation, in particular because of the great defensive vigilance he showed.
blow of authority
Simeone changed his system after his time in the locker room. Koke entered the green in place of Nahuel Molina and the red and white team stood with a five-defense pattern. It suited them well at first, with great forward pressure, but little by little Real Madrid took control of the match.
Rodrygo gave the first warning with an unmarked shot from the edge of the area that skimmed the crossbar. But the white team succeeded on their second attempt. Vinicius, in his first overrun attempt of the match, left his pair, gained the baseline and placed a superb cross to the far post.
