Atlético ends 49-year streak vs Real Madrid
Atlético Madrid defeated Real Madrid 2-1 in the Madrid Derby in La Liga, achieving their 42nd victory against the Royal Club since the start of encounters in La Liga. It was their second consecutive win at home for the first time since 1977. The match began with a goalless first half, but Real Madrid defender David Alaba was sent off in the 51st minute. Atlético capitalized on the numerical advantage by scoring two goals through Alejandro Grimaldo and Jonathan David. Real Madrid reduced the deficit in the final moments via Antonio Rüdiger. Jonathan David achieved a rare feat by scoring in his third consecutive match since joining the team, becoming the first Atlético player in history to score in his first three Derby matches in the 21st century. The game also saw an increase in shot attempts by Atlético, and Koke reached a record number of appearances against Real Madrid, playing in his 28th match, and distinguished himself with an unprecedented passing accuracy, completing 62 passes out of 64 attempts after coming on as a substitute.
