Atletico Madrid defeated city equals Real Madrid to procure a 1-0 win on Sunday night that sold out the abundance of chances made in the club's most memorable La Liga triumph in the capital derby starting around 2016.
While Real have the association closed up - and simply got back to preparing on Saturday after their European heroics - Atletico's Champions League capability is nowhere near secure. The hosts expeditiously played like the side with a reason.
Inside the initial eight minutes, Atletico wasted a couple of sublime possibilities by squeezing the guests high up the pitch as Angel Correa and Yannick Carrasco both neglected to test Real's substitute goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.
Atletico kept up with their tension, writing Real into their own half. Matheus Cunha had a shot obstructed prior to running towards the punishment box after another high turnover.
The Brazilian forward was sandwiched by Eder Militao and Jesus Vallejo as he dallied while arranging a shot. In any case, Cunha's reluctance was compensated with a punishment as a VAR audit uncovered Vallejo's awkward test. Carrasco coolly switched over completely to give Atletico a generously merited 40th-minute lead.Real escaped their easy chairs for the last part. Supported by Atletico dialing down their press, the newly delegated champions committed wraps of white shirts forward.
However, this main abandoned space Real which Atletico burst into yet couldn't completely take advantage of. Carrasco zoomed a shot barely over the bar only minutes before Antoine Griezmann looted Eduardo Camavinga on midway. Driving forward, the half-time substitute teed up Cunha for a brilliant one-on-one just to see the Brazilian submissively fold a shot into Lunin's midsection.
Carlo Ancelotti rolled out seven improvements to the XI that so emphatically took out Manchester City in midweek. The consistent presentation of these heavenly names reinforced Real's flashing danger.
Notwithstanding, Atletico kept on cutting out possibilities which they tracked down better approaches to miss. Griezmann missed the objective two times with hardly a pause in between from a couple of shots inside the punishment before Carrasco hit within the post. As Diego Simeone watched the ball excruciatingly turn before the objective line he went to the sky despondently.
