Leader of Liga, Real Madrid held a crucial victory against Atlético but conceded the equalizer in the 93rd minute of this derby in the capital (1-1), Sunday evening in La Liga.
And suddenly, Real Madrid trembles. The La Liga leader had a golden opportunity to move away at the top of the standings, but the Merengues were deprived of victory in the derby against Atlético in the last minute (1-1) and still have two points in hand. more than Girona, its astonishing runner-up but above all its next opponent next Saturday at the Bernabéu!
Largely dominant at the start of the match, Carlo Ancelotti’s men found the fault through Brahim Diaz on a confused action in front of Jan Oblak’s goal (20th). But Real, deprived of its central defenders, Aurélien Tchouaméni, but also Vinicius who withdrew at the last minute, did not manage to make the break. The enormous activity of Eduardo Camavinga and the technical gestures of Jude Bellingham were not enough. No more than a great opportunity from Brahim Diaz, author of a small bridge on the action (70th).
Catastrophic nacho…
Unsurprisingly, Diego Simeone’s Colchoneros suddenly switched to attack mode to snatch a point. If Antoine Griezmann narrowly missed scoring with a Madjer (76th), it was a final ball sent into the opposing area which allowed Marcos Llorente to equalize in the 93rd minute! Associated with Dani Carvajal in the central hinge, Nacho completely missed this goal, showing dismaying passivity.
With this point taken on the other side of the capital, Atlético is fourth, still 10 points less than Real and two less than Barça, 3rd.
