Atlético defeated Real Madrid this Sunday in the first derby of the season. During the first half the game was very intense, with hard tackles and little football. The 45 minutes were very difficult and hardly allowed any scoring opportunities except for some long shots that did not bother either of the two goalkeepers. The second act began practically the same, although with Simeone's team somewhat more focused on attack. Not with clear chances but creating discomfort in the white defense. And in one of those offensives Huijsen knocked down Giuliano Simeone in the area, he was sent off as the last defender and Grimaldo was in charge of executing the maximum penalty to put the red and whites ahead. Mourinho quickly removed Güler to put Rüdiger as center back and also sat Vinicius and Diomande entered. But with one less, Atlético took advantage and Jonathan David scored the second goal after a cross from Giuliano.
Mourinho charges against the refereeing!
The Portuguese coach did not hold back anything in the press conference after the derby and pointed out Ortiz Arias: "The referee had no experience to call a derby. He is 41 years old. He is a poor referee who has only played small games. Congratulations to the referee committee for this appointment."
