In a game that stopped for 10 minutes due to projectile throwing, Real Madrid was edged by Atlético de Madrid (1-1).

The surprise would not have fulfilled all its promises. In a disappointing game, Atlético and Real Madrid separated with a score of 1-1 after a beautiful volley from Militao (65th) and a late equalizer from Correia (90th + 5). A very important second half saw two goals of the game, a red card for Llorente and the interruption of the game following a projectile thrown at Courtois.

“It is Sunday evening, everything is in place for a lovely evening and yet…” announced Omar Da Fonseca. That made the evening meeting well. “We are not starving, we have nothing to eat. The table is empty even continued match commentator.

A disappointing first time

At the beginning, the thermometer showed 21 degrees in the Spanish capital. Very quickly, after a few moves in Civitas Metropolitano, the mercury rose rapidly to reach boiling values. Colchoneros supporters were vocal in the stands to cheer on their players. Unfortunately, the temperature dropped quickly. Close to chilliness. Two players, however, stood out well during the first season. Jude Bellingham is technically correct and above all very disciplined to defend on the left. Copy and paste for Julian Alvarez, slightly restricted in anger by his position near the line, but still the author of the best opportunity for his team. After an excellent number on his left, the Argentine saw his shot stopped by Courtois (10th, 0-0). Federico Valverde responded with a shot of which he had a secret, but it was well converted for a corner by Oblak (16th, 0-0). Note the two bad choices by Alexander Sorloth just before the break that could have given Atlético two real chances.

Interrupted a game and the organizer in the last moments

When we returned from the locker room, the situation was the same. Errors, errors, technical inaccuracies. The first report of the meeting came from Militao. The Brazilian took advantage of a good work from his teammate Vinicius on the left to volley home the cross (65th, 0-1). But after the light, darkness reappears quickly. Following the opening of the score and some attacks, Atlético “supporters” decided to throw projects in the direction of Courtois. Mateo Busquets Ferrer, the referee, stopped the game for 10 minutes to calm the heat. If the performance is successful in the stands, the Atlético players leave nothing to come back to score. Correa equalized in the final moments of the game after a good call on the outside edge and an excellent hook on Courtois (90th + 5).

In the rankings, Real Madrid is in second place with 18 points behind Barça (21 points), Atlético is in the last step of the podium (16 points). Antoine Griezmann played his 500th game in the Spanish league, Kylian Mbappé was absent with a groin injury.
