A stormy derby in Madrid last night (Saturday) ended in a 1:1 draw between Real and Atlético.
Despite the point and the fact that they were the first to take the lead, the Colchoneros complained to the referee of the match, about the controversial sending off of Angel Cora.
In the 64th minute, Atlético remained with ten players, after Cora sent an elbow in front of Rudiger - and was sent off.
If so, it seemed that the blow was not that strong, and Belm Real mainly helped the decision with an impressive performance.
At the end of the game, the club tweeted: "Nothing is new at the Bernabeu" and even a picture of the bloody leg of Cora, who was himself injured by Rudiger's tackle, appeared: "This is what the leg of our 'attacker' looks like"
Así está la pierna de nuestro 'aggressor'.
Seguimos sin novedades en el Bernabéu.

Goalkeeper Jan Oblak criticized: "Every time against Real, we get a player away, maybe in the next derby we will start with one less player."
Savich was also furious: "It always happens."
Diego Simeone said: "I don't know what the club meant in the tweet. I can say what I saw, and that the hit did not justify a dismissal. Rudiger got up immediately. It hurt him, true, but things are very clear and you can see it."
Apart from the nerves from the game, Simeone also reached an amazing milestone, when he became the most games played as a coach in the history of the Spanish league, with 425 of them.
