On Sunday, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 in a tense match that was contested in a heated environment.
The strain on Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, and VinΓcius Junior increased in the absence of an injured Kylian MbappΓ©. In the meantime, JuliΓ‘n Alvarez, who had been impressive off the bench lately, began next to Antoine Griezmann.
In the first half, the Argentine forced former Atleti goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to save a shot at his near post, and Jan Oblak blocked Federico Valverde's attempt from long range.
Despite four shots on goal and twelve total fouls, the score was tied at halftime. Before there was fan pandemonium, a set-piece was ultimately needed to break the impasse.
Instead of going for the goal, Luka ModriΔ found VinΓcius on the left, who whipped a cross into the box. Γder MilitΓ£o was the first player of the season to score when the ball reached him at the back post. The defender volleyed the goal past Marcos Llorente, a former Real Madrid player.
A few minutes later, fans who had thrown lighters and other things at Courtois captured the attention of all. In the 68th minute, the referee halted play, and both teams left the field. Koke and Diego Simeone, the manager of Atleti, were observed appealing with fans to cease.
After roughly fifteen minutes, the game was eventually restarted, and although the fan disturbance subsided, the tense mood persisted. But Atleti kept launching waves of attacks forward, and in the last seconds, VAR verified Γngel Correa's lunging run and finish as a goal.
Furthermore, Llorente was dismissed just seconds before the end of regulation due to an imprudent challenge.
Real Madrid now trails leaders Barcelona by three points as a result of the outcome, while Atleti is third and five points behind.
