Real Madrid hosted their eternal rivals Atlético in the Madrid derby at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The teams went into halftime with a narrow advantage for the visitors. Atlético took the lead after a controversial penalty converted by Julián Álvarez.
Real Madrid restored parity early in the second half: in the 50th minute, Kylian Mbappé struck past Jan Oblak. That was all the action the spectators at the Bernabéu saw today.
Interesting, that Real Madrid and Atlético have drawn three consecutive derbies for the first time since 1980, but this is the only occasion on which they have signed three 1-1 draws in a row.
As a result, Real Madrid still leads Atlético by a single point. Barcelona is in third, trailing the leader by five points.
- La Liga, 24th round
Real Madrid - Atlético 1:1
Goals: Mbappé, 50 - Julián Álvarez, 35 (penalty)
