From it does some time the derbis between Real Madrid and Athletic of Madrid have taken 'colour' of Classical by the level of competitiveness between both teams. There is a 'war' internal between the two and, in the one of this day 23 of LaLiga, has not been the exception. Santiago Bernabéu has been witness of one of the hottest clashes and contested in what it goes of season, that has saldado with victory of the White House.
The ones of Carlo Ancelotti arrived 'conditioned' by the drop of Antonio Rüdiger and the absence of last hour of Vini Jr, the one who had to withdraw of the field during the training by a problem in the cervical. The alarms were lit in Chamartín, because Dani Carvajal 'repeated' -as that day against Chelsea- of head office and Brahim Díaz went in in the XI to last hour without hardly heat to the maximum level in the previous.
The solution of the Madrid calls Brahim Díaz
In front of the predictable problems that could find backwards, the Madrid pushed to have the possession and that the party played , in the initial minutes, in the field rojiblanco. The calm of Kroos, the rhythm of Jude Bellingham, the speed of Fede Valverde and capacity for 'multiply' of Eduardo Camavinga were key so that, from very soon, the merengues were able to live in the rival area with approaches 'shy' to the goal of Jan Oblak. The '5' tried it with a confined that cleared Witsel, Rodrygo and Camavinga with finish far... But the Atleti knew how keep firm.
When the ones of the 'Cholo' Simeone 'removed' the pressure of on, could test to Lunin: Morata sent a shot crossed, powerful, that repelled the guardameta and afterwards was Griezmann the one who forced to the Ukrainian to take out the fist to avoid the goal. The 'equality' seemed to establish, but the Madrid was smarter: In a distraction of the saga rojiblanca, that was not conclusive, Brahim Díaz hunted a rebound to command the balloon to the deepest of the network. It reviewed a possible offside of Lucas Vázquez in the start of the played, but everything was enabled.
The Athletic did not know 'surpass' the shock
Brahim happened to be 'acting' to annotate a goal in less than 25 minutes. It gave the calm that needed the madridistas in spite of that the visitors wanted to take advantage of the played aerial for 'take advantage of' of the low height of the defenders madridistas. Lunin Dressed of hero for blocar the head butt of Witsel and afterwards was Savic the one who tried to take advantage of an enclosed corner of Griezmann to command a head butt that left 'licking' the long stick.
The Madrid saw 'forced' to step forward, again, and although they could not increase his advantage in the electronic, left several clear occasions 'costing' of the speed of his players and the contragolpes. Rodrygo Had his with a finish crusader and Brahim 'repeated' with a new confined in the area, but his shot crashed in the side of the network. Valverde 'Closed' the first time with one against swift that finish finalising he same with a high shot.
Complaints and controversial in the resumption in the Bernabéu
The resumption, after a corner 'given' by Mendy, began with a 'intentona' of controversy by a goal cancelled to Savic. In the played, Saúl is offside positional and avoids the vision and back exit of Lunin to the moment of the finish of the footballer montenegrino. After review of the VAR, the target did not go up to the marker in spite of the complaints of the Atleti. The controversy, however, did not do at all more than beginning in Santiago Bernabéu.
In less than ten minutes, the madridistas demanded two penaltis. First by a demolish of Lucas Vázquez in front of Saúl, in which it did not see at all punishable Sánchez Martínez, to the equal that in a fall of Jude Bellingham after a demolish of Savic. The indignation was clear in the group madridista, especially by the second. The Madrid happened to have some command of the occasions, forcing to Oblak to take part for blocar a volley of Kroos and another, in two times, to Rodrygo.
Final trepidante in the derbi Madrilenian
Brahim was the attendant to raise to all the Bernabéu with a played of fantasy that could not finish rightly: After a pipe to Mario Beautiful, broke to Witsel with a finite and commanded a shot diverted by the long stick. The Athletic reacted with a very clear occasion after a loss of Mendy that finish in a pass backwards of Correa so that Antoine Griezmann, that had not had the incidence that wanted, did with a finish acrobatic that repelled, 'in extremis', Lunin.
