Overview

  • Per La República, Atlético de Madrid beat Real Madrid 5-2 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on September 27 in LaLiga matchday 7, though the result currently has limited independent confirmation.
  • Xabi Alonso acknowledged a subpar performance, calling it a bad game, a deserved defeat and evidence that his team is still being built.
  • If verified, the scoreline would end Real Madrid’s perfect start under Alonso after seven straight wins across LaLiga and the Champions League and could tighten the top of the table.
  • Pre-match selections featured a notable call as 18-year-old Franco Mastantuono was left out of Real Madrid’s starting XI for tactical reasons in favor of Jude Bellingham.
  • Atlético entered with an uneven league start offset by Julián Álvarez’s recent hat-trick against Rayo Vallecano, setting the stage for a high-intensity derby.
