FC Barcelona can take over the lead in the Spanish competition on Sunday if Real Sociedad is extracted at home. Atlético is in fourth place after seven games and has a backlog of 6 points at Real Madrid.
Atlético Madrid started the competition strongly before 69.167 and immediately got a number of opportunities through Alexander Sørloth. The Norwegian striker did not score. Robin Le Normand succeeded in the fourteenth minute. The defender of Atlético headed a cross from Giuliano Simeone behind Thibaut Courtois.
Real Madrid almost came to 1-1 in the 25th minute. Kylian Mbappé suddenly became free and pushed the ball out of an assist from Arda Güler past goalkeeper Jan Oblak. It was Güler himself who set Real Madrid at 1-2 in the 36th minute.
In the injury time of the first half, Sørloth headed in the equalizer from a pass from Koke. A few minutes before, a goal from Atlético defender Clément Lenglet was rejected after the intervention of the VAR due to hands.
Julian Álvarez celebrated man
Atlético was again the better team at the start of the second half. The team of Diego Simeone received a penalty in the 52nd minute after Güler hit Nico González in his face with a too high bone. Álvarez shot the ball from eleven meters on the right past Courtois. Twelve minutes later, all the celebrated man of Atlético was again when he shot a free kick in the goal of Real Madrid. Antoine Griezmann determined the final score in a swirling stadium at 5-2 in injury time.
