Ancelotti and the VAR make a corridor to Atlético

Rarely will you find Athletic yet real Madrid less involved in a derby. But those of Simeone this year they are determined to complicate life in any circumstance. A penalty goal, more than questionable, ended up giving him the victory against a civil servant rival, which leaves him very close to sealing his participation in the Champions. However, the colchoneros still do not transmit good feelings, especially when they back down to defend the few goals they score. Two in seven games.

the derby of Metropolitan stopped caring Madridif he did at some point, when he jumped onto the field and confirmed that the Athletic he was wasting a great opportunity to show lordship. In the end the hallway did Ancelotti, who put an eleven more typical of the preseason, and his players confirmed it with an expected indolence. The relaxation translated into wasted chances by Correa, Carrasco and Cunha who confirmed the lack of goal by the men from Simeone. Facing a Madrid trotter who entrenched himself behind and forgot to attack.
