A bad start to the evening, and a ruined end to the match.
Despite 90 minutes of domination, Real Madrid will keep a bitter taste from this derby against Atlético (1-1) this Sunday evening.
A bitter taste, at first, because he may have lost one of the stars of his team during the warm-up.
Announced as the starter, Vinicius Jr was ultimately unable to hold his place after a physical scare.
A bitter taste, then, because the Merengues had everything to win against their rivals, but collapsed at the end of the match.
While he was supposed to start the match on the bench, Brahim Diaz took advantage of Vinicius Jr's injury to force his way into the starting lineup.
And it was he who gave his team the advantage in the 20th minute from close range.
Real pushed for the break throughout the match, hitting 17 times on goal, but never managed to find cover.
Atlético finally came back in the last minutes of the match to snatch a point.

In the 93rd minute, Marcos Llorente finally crucified Real with a header (1-1), preventing them from taking a 4-point lead at the top of the championship.
With this draw, the La Liga leaders therefore miss the opportunity to take first place, after Girona's draw against Real Sociedad, PSG's future opponent in the Champions League (0-0).
Behind, Atlético Madrid is in fourth place, two points behind FC Barcelona.
