He headed in 1-1 and spoiled the party for the Real Madrid supporters, who believed that Carlos Ancelotti and Real Madrid had secured three vital points in the La Liga golden game.
Real Madrid thus failed to gain a real lead at the top of the table.
At the weekend, there is a top-of-the-table clash against Girona, who are just two points behind.
Marcos Llorente was never able to establish himself at Real Madrid and thus ended up with the neighbour.
When Vinícius Jr. had to throw in the towel in the warm-up, Brahim Díaz (24) got to unfold in the Madrid derby.
In the 20th minute, he scored 1–0 for Real Madrid. The Atlético Madrid players wanted offside, but the replay showed that the goal was correctly approved.
In contrast, Atlético Madrid had their “equalisation” at 1-1 canceled early in the second half. Stefan Savić headed into the goal after a corner, but a player was clearly offside.

Brahim Diaz thus got the opportunity when Vinicius jr still couldn’t play after getting into trouble when he was warming up.
– He is lucky and good, says TV 2 expert Simen Stamsø Møller about the score – but at the same time pays tribute to the super reserve:
– A real breakthrough on the biggest stage. Brahim Diaz shows technical delights.
He originally comes from Málaga, but was part of Manchester City’s academy. He joined Real Madrid in 2019, but was loaned to AC Milan for three seasons from 2020 to 2023.
The crowd gave him a standing ovation when he left the pitch after 70 minutes of play.
Jude Bellingham wanted a penalty in the 2nd half, but the referee said no. Sins were the same
– Hockey tackle, says TV 2 commentator Endre Olav Osnes – and Stamsø Møller is clear that he should have had a penalty kick.
Real Madrid thus have a two-point lead over Girona, who will be missing three important pieces in the top-flight clash at the weekend; Yangel Herrera and Daley Blind after the yellow cards they received at the weekend and coach Michel Sanchez was sent to the stands against Real Sociedad and will also be banned.
Real Madrid now have eight points to Barcelona and 10 points to Atlético Madrid.
