Consequently, the match ended in front of 62,032 spectators in Wanda Metropolitano 0: 0. Atléti continue to wait for more than four and a half years for a home win in the league against the city rivals.

Reals striker Karim Benzema had the best chance of the match in the 75th minute, but Jan Oblak in the hosts' goal was able to defuse the Frenchman's header with a strong move. Toni Kroos showed a good performance in midfield, ex-Frankfurt Luka Jovic came on as a substitute for Benzema in the 88th minute and was unable to put himself in the spotlight.

Real is the leader of the Primera División with 15 points, behind them is the surprise team from Granada and Atléti with 14 points each, one point ahead of FC Barcelona and Real Sociedad.

Real receives on Tuesday in the Champions League Bruges (18:55 clock), Atléti occurs good two hours later at Lok Moscow (21 clock, both games in the live ticker at SPIEGEL ONLINE).
