Madrid derby review

After getting out of a bad patch, Real Madrid have entered the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.  After a very bad first half, in the second half they made some substitutions and changed the formation and game plan to win the match in extra time.

After Atletico Madrid scored a goal in the first half, Atletico Madrid changed their approach in the second half and handed the game to Real Madrid.  Rodrygo’s goal gave Madrid the equalizer to turn the game completely in favor of Real Madrid.

Madrid team celebrating the Goal

In the second half, Real Madrid dominated the game and took the derby to extra time. Real Madrid pulled this game from Atletico Madrid on the goal of Benzema and Vinicius in extra time.Savic’s red card changed the game for Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid had to play with 10 players for the entire extra time.

The absence of Tchouamani and Alaba was clearly visible in this game of Real Madrid.  Madrid struggled a lot but at the end Real has secured their place in the semi-finals with a score of 3-1.  Before the game some atletico madrid fans hung a doll wearing vinicius jersey on the bridge.  Laliga and Atletico Madrid need to take some action on this and Real Madrid is not happy about this.
