Real Madrid could not overcome its first important challenge of the season. The key players of the merengue team were unrecognizable in the confrontation against Atlético at the Cívitas Metropolitano, resulting in a 3-1 defeat

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The Real Madrid faced his visit to the Cívitas Metropolitan envalentonado, since it arrived to the derbi like leader invicto in LaLiga and after a victory against the Union Berlin in his debut in the UEFA Champions League. This duel in front of the Germans would not be more than an indication of what expected in the clash against the Athletic of Madrid: a combined solid in defence that would hamper the forcefulness goleadora of the Real Madrid.

In that meeting, the whites had two important appearances: the forcefulness goleadora lethal of Jude Bellingham, his leader in attack, and a square whose offensive arguments were not very stood out. However, in this occasion was different, since the 'colchoneros' himself that they were conclusive when had opportunities and, lamentably for the Vikingos, the superhéroe English could not save them the day.

Jude Bellingham could not mark differences

The native midfield player of Stourbridge, to the equal that his cast, did not have his best performance, because it did not attain to upset to the defence 'rojiblanca' during the 90 minutes of game. In general lines, could not exert like the footballer generator of imminent danger that is used to to be, as they show it his statistics. Nevertheless, in his first derbi Madrilenian in the Metropolitan, seemed to have left carry by the frustration, arriving to the point to commit a hard entrance on Ángel Correa in the injury time. This action could have deserved an expulsion, but the referee decided to forgive it.

Although it is evident that Jude Bellingham turns into the visible face of the defeat because of his little contribution goleadora in this day, in general, the players of the Real Madrid had an atypical party in every aspect. The always solid David Alba committed a pair of errors that resulted in goals against. Fede Valverde, in spite of his impetus, did not attain to hit his powerful finish of average to long distance. Luka Modrić Had to be substituted due to the fact that it did not fit in the tactical approach of Carlo Ancelotti. Eduardo Camavinga, in some moments, seemed lost in the medullary zone. There was a series of irregularities that are not common in the combined of Chamartín and supposedly attributed to the variants entered by 'Carletto'.

The Real Madrid could not do the epic in this opportunity

The epic did not do present in this occasion and the luck was not of the side of the whites, but of the Athletic of Madrid. Álvaro Morata, an old known of the White House, did to cost the 'law of the ex' and annotated two goals, whereas Antoine Griezmann, ex of the Barça, dismissed with a target more, showing the ones of Simeone a lethal forcefulness that left 'grogui' to the cast merengue. Although the Real Madrid tried to react with a powerful whiplash from out of the area courtesy of Toni Kroos, that was not sufficient for desestabilizar to an envalentonado Athletic.
