Major Victory and First Defeat for Real Madrid in the New Season: Madrid Derby Ends Unexpectedly
During the seventh round of Spain’s La Liga, one of the most anticipated and thrilling rivalries of the season took place—the Madrid Derby, drawing fans from both clubs to the city’s stadiums.
In this confrontation, which is traditionally regarded as one of the most spectacular in global football, the football world witnessed an unexpected result that will leave a mark in the history of Spanish club football.
The host team, Atlético Madrid, secured an impressive and convincing victory with a score of 5-2, shattering even the boldest predictions of analysts and fans.
The game began with intense pressure: as early as the 15th minute, Atlético opened the score thanks to Norman’s headed goal after a cross from the flank.
However, Real Madrid quickly equalized: first, Mbappé scored with a precise shot to the bottom corner, then Günter put Madrid ahead — but the goal was disallowed by the referee due to an offside.
Despite this, Madrid managed to equalize before halftime thanks to a header from Serlot, who finished a flank pass from Koke.
The second half turned out to be even more dramatic for Real Madrid, especially after conceding two goals in the 52nd and 64th minutes.
First, Alvarez converted a penalty kick, and subsequently, he scored a fantastic free-kick goal, effectively sealing the game.
The final goal was scored in added time by Griezmann, who finished a counterattack with a low shot.
All the while, Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin watched from the bench, patiently awaiting his chance.
After this match, Atlético Madrid earned 12 points and took fourth place in the championship table, while Real Madrid, suffering their first defeat of the season, remains with 18 points at the top of the league standings.
This result marked the first loss for Madrid in the new season, making it a significant moment in the race for the championship.
Preparations for upcoming matches continue, but this day will forever remain etched in football history for fans and supporters of both teams.
