FT: Atlético Madrid 1-0 Real Madrid

Atlético have recorded an important win over Real Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano. 

Simeone's side have extended their lead in fourth place to six points over Real Betis in fifth place.

Both sides had really good chances in the second half, but Los Colchoneros managed to hold on.

Atlético also had several chances of their own to finish Real Madrid off, through both Carrasco and substitute Griezmann.

Ancelotti's subs created some late opportunities but the league champions were unable to equalise.

The winning goal came from a first half Yannick Carrasco penalty after Vallejo took Cunha down in the box.

With just three league games to go, Atlético are closer to reaching their Champions League objective and securing fourth spot.

Another glorious chance for the away team. Vinicius crosses from the left wing. Nacho is all alone in the box but somehow manages to head it onto his shoulder and it goes over.

OBLAK saves!

It's a fine save. Asensio's free is low and hard but Oblak somehow sees it and gets down to his left to stop it going in.

It's that man again. Vinicius curls one from just outside the box, on the left. It's straight at Oblak.

Vinicius crosses but he's probably surprised to find out that Benzema isn't in the box. Felipe clears it. 1-0

Carrasco hits the post. It remains 1-0 to the home side.

Carrasco cracks the inside of the post!

76

It just won't go in for Griezmann. Carrasco, in typical Carrasco fashion, dances past three players, before picking out Griezmann. He's 10 yards out, takes a touch, spins and shoots wide.

Griezmann's last goal for Atleti came in the Copa del Rey in January.

74

Cunha goes for the halfway line lob. He spots Lunin off his line but his shot goes over the bar. That would have been embarrassing for Lunin. The Ukrainian keeper is making his first league start of the season tonight.

73

Griezmann!

His left-footed effort goes just wide. It looked like it was creeping into the far top corner. The Frenchman has been impressive since coming on.

Reinildo goes off injured

Atlético have been forced into making a change. Reinildo goes down injured and is replaced by Felipe.

Lucas Vázquez pulls down Carrasco on the edge of the box but the referee waves play on. The Wanda Metropolitano is furious with that decision.

Real Madrid are on an 11-game unbeaten streak against Atlético in LaLiga, their best such derby run against Simeone as coach.

Benzema, one goal away from equalling Raúl’s Real Madrid record

Karim Benzema is one step away from equaling a record held by a Real Madrid icon as the Frenchman is just one goal away from catching Raúl in the ranking of top scorers in Real Madrid’s history. 

The former Lyon striker has found the net 323 times in the famous white shirt in his more than 15 years as a player with the side from the Spanish capital. Benzema has has five games remaining this season to surpass Raúl and would sit behind Cristiano Ronaldo in the overall ranking. The Portuguese striker bagged 450 goals in 438 games for Real Madrid with that record practically unattainable.

No guard of honour for league champions

Atlético have already caused a stir prior to kick-off at Wanda Metropolitano by confirming they will not offer Madrid a guard of honour, with their strong response claiming the performative gesture was not required.

Instead, Atlético congratulated their neighbours in a statement and Diego Simeone followed suit by commending the work of Carlo Ancelotti as he questioned the need for the media frenzy surrounding the guard of honour.

“Always in this search for questions they try to generate controversy, what he said, what he feels,” he added.

“The reality is what the club said in a statement, explained perfectly, to congratulate Real Madrid above all, to the footballers and to their coaching staff because they have done a great job.

“I have great respect for Madrid, who have just become champions, but we have more respect for our people who are with us all day.”

In his pre-match press conference, Carlo Ancelotti spoke about Gareth Bale's absence from the league title celebrations.

“We are all very fond of Bale. He wasn’t there because he couldn’t move. I have experienced the same thing, after hurting my back. When he’s fit, he trains the same as everyone else. It wasn’t that he was being antisocial, it’s just that he couldn’t move”.

With driver Manolo Boza at the wheel, it has taken the squad all over the world since 2016 but Real Madrid’s players will board a more modest vehicle when it’s time to make their way from the training ground and head off to the Metropolitano.
