Real Madrid fell heavily during the derby against Atlético de Madrid (5-2) at Metropolitano on Saturday afternoon, thus undergoing its first liga defeat under the orders of Xabi Alonso. Julián Álvarez was the great craftsman of the Colchoneros' victory with a double, including a sensational direct free kick. Beyond the severe score, this defeat leaves physical traces for the Merengues, who saw two frames coming out on injury: Dani Carvajal and Eder Militão.
Already suspended for the next Champions League match against Kairat Almaty, the Spanish side suffers from discomfort in the right calf and will take exams this Sunday. Militão, on the other hand, was hit in the left ankle after contact with Sørloth and left the stadium by lodging, after being replaced at halftime by Raúl Asencio. His presence Tuesday in C1 is very improbable. These injuries are added to that of Trent Alexander-Arnold, which forced Valverde to help out at the right back at the end of the match.
