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 on the afternoon of this Saturday, September 27, a match that counted for the seventh round of La Liga, and where the former Benfica player started for the blancos.

To begin with, it’s worth noting the presence of two players who have played for Benfica in one of the biggest derbies in the world. On the Real Madrid side, Álvaro Carreras – who has been receiving praise – started in the lineup. For Atlético Madrid, it was goalkeeper Oblak who started the match.

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

The first half was promising, but the second was very different. Atlético Madrid showed more strength 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: already in stoppage time, it was Griezmann who put the finishing touches on the rout, with the match ending 5-2 in favor of the Colchoneros.

This match marked Real Madrid’s first defeat in La Liga – the blancos remain at the top of the league, with 18 points from seven matches played (they could be overtaken this round by Barcelona). Atlético Madrid climbs to fourth place, with 12 points from the same number of games as their rivals from the Spanish capital.
