• Julián Álvarez hit a brace, converting a second-half penalty and later beating Thibaut Courtois with a curling free kick.
• Atletico’s other goals came from Robin Le Normand, Alexander Sorloth just before halftime, and substitute Antoine Griezmann in stoppage time.
• Kylian Mbappé equalised and Arda Guler put Real ahead in the first half before the hosts surged after the break.
