In a match that ended hot in every sense, Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid finished tied at one goal on Matchday 8 of La Liga, all thanks to Ángel Correa who at the beginning of the match scored the tying goal for Save your team from the painful fall.
The first half did not have a clear dominator of the match, to such an extent that it has been a long time since we saw a match that ended without goals between these teams in the first 45 minutes, a period worthy of a match where ‘Cholo’ Simeone is found. in between.
Already in the second half the actions heated up, in every sense. Éder Militao made it 0-1 with a powerful shot almost in the six-yard box after a prefabricated play that Atleti did not know how to defend. As a result of this, the pulse rose on the field of play and the Colchoneros fans began to attack the merengue players with objects from the stands.
The highlight of this match, regardless of the result, was that, despite not having Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid knew how to carry out the match.
Carlo Ancelotti moved his chips in the face of this sensitive loss and changed to a 4-4-2 where he placed Luka Modric in midfield to leave Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior as the only attackers, who were constantly accompanied by Jude Bellingham and Federico Valverde.
This situation undoubtedly slows down the Madrid attack, but it is no less effective, so much so that when the ball passes through the feet of the Croatian midfielder, everything is dangerous.
Jan Oblak – 8/10 – He couldn’t do much about the goal, it was a flash. However, at all times he participated in some saves that prevented his team from losing by more goals.
Nahuel Molina – 7/10 – The Argentine’s play was very discreet, so much so that Simeone decided to no longer count on his services at the start of the second half.
José Giménez – 8/10 – He was a player who never gave up, in fact he received a strong blow to the face in the second period that did not affect him at all.
Robin Le Normand – 7/10 – Quite a quiet game for this defender, he received a yellow card and made more than 90% of his passes.
Reinildo – 8/10 – The number of passes that this defender makes is praiseworthy, today he missed very few and he also participated greatly in the defense, without being able to fully help his team not succumb.
Rodrigo de Paul – 7/10 – Without a doubt, it was a difficult match, especially when you have to deal with Vinicius’ constant attacks. Furthermore, in some integrations into the attack he was not entirely fine.
Marcos Llorente – 7/10 – The Spanish midfielder had some actions in attack that did not completely transcend, he completed a large number of passes, but without causing major damage.
Conor Gallagher – 7/10 – This player did not have a great participation in the duel, so much so that Simeone decided to dispense with his services in the 70th minute to give Ángel Correa confidence.
Antoine Griezmann – 9/10 – The Frenchman is an elite athlete and today he showed it, despite not being one of the youngest on the team, he ran the mile and actively participated in the mattress attack, in addition to repeatedly sacrificing himself in defense.
Julian Alvarez – 8/10 – The ‘Araña’ is a star in every sense, he can play on the right, on the left, in the center and joins the attack in a great way. Today he did a lot of damage to his rival.
Alexander Sorloth – 7/10 – The Colchonero 9 had a very discreet game. The opponent did not let him play easily and he normally received the ball outside the area where he seemed not to feel comfortable.
Ángel Correa (substitute) – 9/10 – The Argentine came as a catalyst and made a difference. At the end of the second period, with the knife between his teeth, he scored the tie for his team. Great participation.
Thibaut Courtois – 7/10 – We are going to talk more about an issue of attitude than quality in the goal, since a celebration by the merengue goalkeeper could have ended in a more than complicated situation.
Dani Carvajal – 9/10 – This player becomes a better soccer player over the years; today, in a high-speed game, he was not hesitant in the least. He is the man from Madrid.
Antonio Rüdiger – 8/10 – The German is a wall in the lower part of Madrid. From above, in hand-to-hand combat and in extreme circumstances, it is always a safety reference.
Éder Militao 10/10 – He did not have a difficult game in defensive duties and life smiled upon him by giving him the opportunity to give his team the goal with which they won the Derby.
Ferland Mendy 8/10 – He could have stayed seated for the entire second period and would not have had any major complications despite the fact that Griezmann and company tried too hard for that band in the first half.
Federico Valverde 9/10 – In the absence of a player of Toni Kross’s caliber, this Uruguayan came to do his thing in Madrid. Today he had approaches on goal and traveled the field like few others.
Luka Modric – 8/10 – Despite not being a starter in several games, and in the face of Mbappé’s departure due to injury, the Croatian showed why he is one of the best midfielders in history, he did not tremble at all in a dizzying match.
Aurelien Tchouaméni – 7/10 – Little to say about this player, he participated in defense and attack without major problems.
Jude Bellingham – 7/10 – It was not the game that we all expected from this footballer, and it has been said repeatedly that without Mbappé it will be difficult for Belli to shine.
Rodrygo – 7/10 – This was another player who went unnoticed, did not ask for balls, did not show up in attack and was not a reference for the team when he was needed.
Vinicius Jr – 9/10 – The Brazilian carried the team on his shoulders at all times, his attacks from the left were of great importance, to such a degree that Madrid’s goal came from that wing.
Without a doubt, here we will place Ángel Correa, who took great advantage of the 20 minutes he had on the field to give his team the tie, in addition to constantly making himself feel like a reference in the mattress attack.
