Real Madrid and Atlético They tied 1-1 in the derby in the Spanish capital, this Sunday on the eighth day of the League, a duel that was marred by the throwing of objects at the Metropolitan stadium, which forced the referee to interrupt it for ten minutes.
According to the criteria of
With Barcelona dropping their first points of the season on Saturday in Pamplona (4-2), the derby was the perfect opportunity to close the gap. They did not take advantage of it as much as possible and Real Madrid is three behind and Atlético is five.
The Metropolitano, which filled its 70,000 seats – a record attendance – received its fans with a mosaic that completely covered its stands and a motto ‘Until the end of my days’.
The party was ruined after the white goal and the subsequent shower of objects. The Brazilian central defender Militao had scored (64), somewhat equaled by the Argentine Ángel Correa in stoppage time (90+5).
Without Kylian Mbappé, out of his first derby due to injury, Carlo Ancelotti did not give the 18-year-old Brazilian prodigy Endrick the alternative as a starter. He preferred to reinforce his midfield with Luka Modric and have Jude Bellingham approach the rival area along with Vinicus and Rodrygo.
The duel began with rhythm and both goalkeepers showing hierarchy. Thibaut Courtois appeared before Julián Álvarez, a bullet from the left (9), and Jan Oblak flew to clear a shot from Federico Valverde (17).
Already in the second half, with the game locked and when none of the stars made a difference, an unexpected hero appeared: Militao, quick control and accurate shot from the top of the small area, taking advantage of a service from Vinicius. After the white goal, embarrassment came.
The referee had to stop the match because from one of the backs the ultras began to throw objects, including bottles and lighters, at Courtois. The players went to the locker room for ten minutes and the red and white coach Diego Simeone, captain Koke and José María Jiménez held a dialogue with some of the fans to ask them to calm down.
After the restart (68) Vinicius was close to ‘killing’ the duel after gaining position over Jiménez and shooting with power, but Oblak saved his team (73).
futbAs at the start of the derby, Courtois responded to his colleague with a slap after a great shot by Samuel Lino (82). Four minutes later Endrick entered.
He had a counterattack to score, but his cannon went close to one of the posts. The revulsive rival, Correa, did get it right, lethal after a service from Javi Galán
