Real Madrid 2-1 Atletico Madrid: Rodrygo and Valverde score to extend winning run

Real Madrid picked up their sixth consecutive win in La Liga, defeating Atletico Madrid 2-1 in the derby. Atletico finished the game a man down, after Mario Hermoso was shown a red card in the last few minutes of the game. 

Diego Simeone’s side have only been able to pick up one win in the last 13 Madrid derbies, showcasing a poor record against their rivals, which continued last night. One of the surprises from the night was Antoine Griezmann starting the match, amidst talks between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to make the transfer permanent. 

Real Madrid 2-1 Atletico Madrid: Late scare for Los Blancos 

Rodrygo opened the scoring for Los Blancos, after a botched clearance attempt from Felipe. The defender missed the ball completely, and Rodrygo made no mistake from close range to beat Jan Oblak. 

Fede Valverde doubled their lead, scoring in his third straight game, with a thunderbolt of a strike after the ball ricocheted off the opposite post. Aurelien Tchouameni had an incredible game, dominating the midfield and making Real Madrid fans miss Casemiro a little less. 

Mario Hermoso had an eventful end to the game, scoring in the 83rd minute off of his shoulder. And being sent off shortly after, failing to salvage a point from the derby. The two teams will now have a couple of weeks off due to the international break, where they can regroup.
