The real striker Kylian Mbappe in the second half cancels the penalty of Julian Alvarez on Atletico in Madrid Derby.
Kylian Mbappe scored in his first path against Atletico Madrid, while Real Madrid resisted a 1-1 draw and kept his slim progress in the Spanish League.
Julian Alvarez Atletico put forward from the 35th penalty point in Stadio Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday. The kick was granted after the ruling was called for a challenge review by Aurelien Tchouameni on Samuel Lino.
MBAPPE equals in the 50th minute of the hosts, who before ATLETICO remained second in the ranking, after closing an effort by Jude Bellingham to Slot Home.
Bellingham hit the crossbar when Madrid searched for a second goal, while Atletico Jean Olbak goalkeeper saved Rodrigo and Veniceus Junior and was mobilized to divide points in the Spanish capital.
Alvarez said: “We knew how to hang there and we have our chances,” Alvarez said. “We are fighting and we will stay in it until the end.”
Atletico, who spent the big summer last summer to get alvarez and other reinforcements, in addition to the league titles in 2021 and 2014 under the leadership of coach Diego Simon.
They arrived in good condition, after they won 19 games from the 21 games in all competitions, and showed the reason for obtaining the best defense in the five leagues in Europe with 15 goals that were waived in 23 games.
On Saturday, despite his strong defensive loss, Robin Le Normand on the comment, Simon was again rocky in the back, which thwarted the Real Madrid attack who was unable to create a single shot on the goal in the first half.
The real coach Carlo Ancelotti was quickly accepting that it was a game of two halves: “We took control of the second half well. We scored and the opportunities were. We played the second half very good. The first half was different. We were very slow and not aggressive enough.
“The punishment affected the team. After the punishment, and before that, we were playing very slow. We did not benefit from this field. In the second half, we opened the field and made it wider, and we benefited from it. We created many problems in the second half.”
A group of Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has left a temporary rear line from Lucas Vazquiz, ordinary midfielder Chawamini, and youth player Raul Asensio, and Fran Garcia.
It was the reckless expansion of his shoes by Tchouameni that ended up to find Lino, but VAR still required intervention until the kick was granted.
Former Manchester City striker Alvarez has attacked his punishment in the middle, where Thibbot Courtois dived to his left.
Antoine Griezmann again showed his great value to Atletico with accuracy that passes even under coerced. The French midfielder put twice the balls completely likely left Alvarez and Lino in a good position to get rid of the shots inside the area, but the clumsy touches destroyed the opportunities.
