Carreras starts, Atlético Madrid v Real Madrid ends in humiliation | OneFootball

Atlético Madrid - Real Madrid ended with a 5-2 victory for the colchoneros. The derby of the Spanish capital took place this Saturday afternoon, September 27, a match that counted for the seventh round of La Liga, where the former Benfica player was a starter for the blanco team.

Let's start by noting the presence of two players with a history at Benfica, in one of the biggest derbies in the world. On the Real Madrid side, Álvaro Carreras - who has been receiving praise - started as a starter. For Atlético Madrid, it was goalkeeper Oblak who started the match.

Regarding the match, it was full of strong emotions. The first half began with a goal from Atlético Madrid in the 14th minute, by Le Normand. Real Madrid responded and turned the game around, with goals from Mbappe in the 25th minute, and Guller in the 36th minute. But the colchoneros would equalize the match in the 45+3rd minute, just before halftime, with a goal by Sorloth.

The first half promised much, but the second was very different. Atlético Madrid showed more capability, and playing at home, regained the lead in the 51st minute, with a penalty converted by Alvarez. The Argentine would score again in the 63rd minute, making it 4-2, but the celebration didn't stop there: in injury time, it was Griezmann who gave the match a rout-like score, ending with the scoreboard showing 5-2 in favor of the colchoneros.

This match marked Real Madrid's first defeat in La Liga - the blancos remain in the first position of the championship, with 18 points accumulated in seven matches played (they can be overtaken this round by Barcelona). Atlético Madrid rises to fourth place, with 12 points in the same number of games as their capital rivals.
