MADRID DERBY
A Madrid derby missing 40% of its goals
Alfredo Relaño takes a look at this evening's Madrid derby at the Bernabéu which will be the first meeting between Real Madrid and Atlético to feature VAR.
After the all-round smiles of Roma in the Champions League, spirits were dampened with a Madrid performance that faded and a game that looked more likely to end in a draw as the clock ticked down.
It was a happy night at the Bernabéu, crowned with a resounding 3-0 result, where Mariano scored the final goal that was the icing on the cake.
San Mamés will open its gates to welcome Madrid, amounting to an evening of excitement and emotion. For time immemorial nothing has stoked up San Mamés quite like Real Madrid coming to town.
