The best game of the week, Real Madrid and Atletico are putting on a show in the Super Cup

Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are starring in one of the most interesting matches of the week. The derby of the Spanish capital moved to Saudi Arabia for the semifinals of the Spanish Super Cup, in which both teams are aiming for a win to advance to the final and, against the winner between Barcelona and Osasuna, go for the first title of 2024.

Los Merengues also have the motivation to beat their rivals to avenge the defeat in matchday 6 of La Liga and prove that it was just a bad afternoon. That was the only game they lost in this season 2023/24, considering the Spanish league, Champions League and Copa del Rey.

During the first half, both teams have lived up to expectations. Atlético Madrid netted the opener after 6 minutes, when Mario Hermoso received a floated cross from the corner and took advantage of a mistake by the rival defenders to score with a header.

However, the happiness was short-lived for them, as in the following minutes Los Merengues began to control the ball and create chances to score. After 20 minutes, Antonio Rudiger netted the leveller with a goal very similar to the one scored by Hermoso. And a few minutes later Ferland Mendy completed the comeback with a subtle shot inside the box. Interestingly, neither Vinicius nor Bellingham saved the team, but two defenders.

Look no further, this is the goal of the week

When everything seemed to be in Real Madrid's favor, who were winning 2-1 and controlling the ball, Atlético Madrid scored the equaliser thanks to a genius move by Antoine Griezmann. The French forward received the ball in the opponent's half, dribbled past two defenders and when he entered the box he shot with great force with his right foot, making it impossible for goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to react.
