Key Match Stats
So, what do the numbers tell us?
- Possession: 47% for Real, 53% for Atlético. Okay, Atlético had the ball a bit more, but it’s not exactly overwhelming domination, is it? We’re far from Barça’s tiki-taka, that’s for sure! It’s not mind-blowing, but it’s worth noting.
- Shots: 6 for Real, 2 for Atlético. Now, that’s a real difference! Real were much more proactive in front of goal. Atlético, it looked like they were afraid to shoot, or maybe they were aiming for the seagulls…

- Later: Brahim Díaz gives Real the lead! Real managed to turn the game around, hats off to them!

Player and Team Analysis
Real Madrid: Honestly, they got the job done. They weren’t flashy, but they were effective. Rodrygo and Brahim Díaz, the saviors! They knew how to capitalize on their chances. It’s not always pretty, but it wins games. It’s not jogo bonito, but hey, we’ll take it.
Atlético Madrid: A bit disappointing, Atlético. They had possession, but they didn’t do much with it. Álvarez scored, okay, but it wasn’t enough. Only two shots, that’s really not a lot. They lacked daring, desire… Wake up, guys!
Conclusion
Real won, and it’s deserved given the number of shots. Atlético had the ball, but without really creating danger. It wasn’t the match of the year, but it’s still a derby, and that’s to be respected. Real were more clinical, and that’s what counts in the end. And you, what did you think of this match? Let me know in the comments!
