Believe it or not, Real Madrid opened tonight (Sunday) a 13-point gap at the top over city rivals Atletico after a 0-2 win in Madrid's big derby, in the 17th round of La Liga.
Bottom line, the fiery Blancos have continued to escape to the Spanish league thanks to another effective game, and in fact Carlo Ancelotti’s side are already on top with ten straight wins in all competitions.
It did not take long because already after 16 minutes, the host got on the flickering board: Vinicius raised a ball to the field and Karim Benzema sent the ball to Obelek's corner.
After the goal, the champion continued to sleep and was not exactly able to endanger the goal of Thibaut Courtois.
At the break, Benzema, who came up to play with a minor injury, was replaced by Luca Jovic.

In the second half, something changed for the visitors, who showed that they are certainly capable of attacking as well, but the misses of Joao Felix and the retriever Konya, left the result intact.

And as the cliché article puts it, after Atletico's misses, the city rival struck again: this time Vinicius wisely handed over Marco Asensio, who found the corner to Obelek and doubled Blancos' advantage.
0: 2 justified for Real Madrid at the end.
Now it remains to be seen who will be able to stop them.
