Overview

  • Atlético de Madrid beat Real Madrid 5-2 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Saturday in LaLiga’s matchday 7 derby.
  • Xabi Alonso acknowledged his side lacked collective sharpness and intensity, calling the performance a poor one that will force hard conclusions.
  • The loss snaps Real Madrid’s seven-match winning run to open the season, which included six league victories and one in the Champions League.
  • Real’s lineup left 18-year-old Franco Mastantuono on the bench as a tactical choice, with Jude Bellingham restored to the starting XI after recovery.
  • The result dents Real Madrid’s cushion at the top on 18 points and leaves their lead vulnerable, with Barcelona able to overtake if they win their fixture.
