The Madrid derby continues even after the match won by the Colchoneros 3-1. For his first start of the season, José Maria Gimenez performed very well, stifling the Casa Blanca attackers. The Uruguayan seemed more determined than ever. And for good reason, he was visibly very motivated.
A few days before the match, the 28-year-old defender made fun of Jude Bellingham on TVE, mentioning this “fashionable footballer because, by chance, everything falls on him inside the box.” A direct reference to the opportunistic goal scored by the Englishman in the final moments of the Champions League against Union Berlin.
