Carlo Ancelotti's team couldn't started well a match that at the moment seemed like it was gonna be more even. It is worth noting that Real Madrid was undefeated this season while Cholo Simeone's team had its setbacks.

What seemed like an even match at the Civitas Metropolitano, became a game totally in favor of Atletico Madrid. Just 3 minutes into the game, Alvaro Morata opened the scoreboard celebrating with euphoria with his people. Moreover, Morata was formed in the Real Madrid youth academy. Furthermore, he weared the white jersey of Madrid's senior team in two occasions.

The few opportunities in the white team in both stages, forced the striker to seek minutes outside Valdebebas, making him a reliable striker for Juventus, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid. It was finally at Atletico de Madrid where he found the consistency that he had been looking for since his beginnings at Real Madrid. However, his destination was far from the Santiago Bernabeu.

Also, 30 seconds into the second half, the player scored a brace thus closing a perfect night in Madrid. With this result, Simeone's team ascends to the 5th position while Barcelona remains at the top as the new leader of the competition. It should be remembered that Xavi Hernandez's team came from behind against Celta de Vigo in less than 10 minutes with the effectiveness of Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix that marked the big win in Catalunya.
