This morning (January 19), Real Madrid had a competition with Atletico Madrid in the 1/8 round of the Spanish King’s Cup on their opponent’s field. A few days ago, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, but this time they met again, Los Blancos did not enjoy the joy of victory.

Coach Carlot Ancelotti’s team did not start well and lost the lead in the 39th minute. However, at the end of the first half, the Royal Spanish team was able to equalize 1-1.

In the second half, with their home field advantage, Atletico Madrid played very determinedly. The home team’s quick attacks at the Metropolitano Stadium caused Real Madrid’s defense to become confused and make mistakes.

In the 57th minute, Álvaro Morata took advantage of a mistake by Real Madrid’s defense to score to increase the score to 2-1. But in the 82nd minute, Joselu shined and brought the match back to the starting line and the two teams had to play extra time.

During extra time, the physical strength of Real Madrid players clearly decreased. Perhaps, that is the reason why the White Vultures’ defense continuously made mistakes and then conceded 2 more goals in minutes 110 and 119, thereby losing the final 2-4 to their neighbors.
