Real Madrid remain the only team in Europe’s Top 5 leagues with a perfect record after winning a tough away game at city rivals Atletico. The royal club now have a maximum of 18 points from six rounds in Primera, where they lead by two points more than arch-rivals Barcelona. Atlético has won 10 points so far and is in seventh place in the table.
The Spanish and European champion showed already in the first half that he came to “Wanda Metropolitano” to win and through Rodrigo in the 18th minute he took a 1:0 lead. Exactly 18 more minutes were waited for the new joy of the guests. Valverde did a great job on the deflected ball after Vinicius’ post, so the Kings led 2:0 at halftime.
In the second half, Atlético went much more offensive, and it bore fruit in the 83rd minute when Hermoso scored for 1:2. The same player earned a red card in the 90th minute, so Atletico did not have the strength to score a second goal and save themselves from defeat.
