Atlético Madrid vs Real Madrid live online: score, stats and updates ...
What a move from Atleti! They were under serious pressure at the back but played their way out brilliantly. It looks as if Griezmann is going to get a shot away but it's blocked.

Fantastic play though.

Lino goes down after being clipped from being by Nacho. Not much in it but expect to see plenty of this moving forward.

Three changes for Real Madrid
Ancelotti has had enough and makes three subs at once.
Mendy, Tchouamnéni and Nacho on for Vázquez, Camavinga and García.

Hermoso heads off the bar!
Atleti do win a corner, though. Hermoso gets his head to it and the ball clips the bar on its way over!
as.comPosted at: 16:20EDT24/09/2023
Griezmann passes up decent chance!
Saúl going for a hat-trick there and it would've been the best of the lot. He picks a superb pass for Griezmann, whose touch uncharacteristically lets him down and he can't get a shot away.

Saúl making his 300th LaLiga appearance
300 not out for Saúl in LaLiga against Real Madrid and this, I'm told, is the first time he's ever assisted two goals in the same game. Picked a good one.
as.comPosted at: 16:17EDT24/09/2023
Atleti have retreated into their shell, pinned back by their opponents. I don't fancy their chances if they just try to defend their lead.

Half time: Atlético Madrid 2-1 Real Madrid
Two games in one at the Metropolitano. Atleti absolutely flew out of the traps and were ahead within three minutes, Lino’s cross picking out the run of Morata, who glanced a header beyond Kepa. The hosts were intent on landing an early knockout blow and went another step towards doing it before the quarter-of-an-hour mark as another cross from the left, the time from Saúl, landed on the head of Griezmann, who found the bottom corner.
With a raucous stadium right behind them, Atleti went in for the kill and began looking more of a danger down the right, with Molina’s runs causing problems. The Argentine picked out Saúl, who was only denied a third by a fine low stop from Kepa.
But Simeone’s side were careless in possession at times and eventually allowed Real Madrid a way back into the match. Atlético couldn’t keep up their early pace and the visitors turned the screw, offering more of an attacking threat as the half went on. Kroos reduced the deficit with a superb low strike after a cleared cross, setting up a late onslaught. Camavinga thought he had levelled before the break, only to see his goal ruled out for an offside against Rüdiger, who didn’t actually touch the ball but was judged to be interfering with play.
This is set up perfectly for the second half!

Atleti have totally lost their way, they really need the half-time whistle.

Giménez wipes out Rodrygo
A yellow card that has a touch of orange in it as Giménez absolutely cleans Rodrygo right out near the touchline. Just as well the Brazilian jumped out of the way a bit...

Four minutes of injury time.

CAMAVINGA GOAL DISALLOWED!
Camavinga has the ball in the net but it's disallowed because of an offside against Rüdiger in the build-up. The German didn't actually touch the ball but was just about interfering with play...
as.comPosted at: 15:49EDT24/09/2023
Real Madrid are coming and Vázquez is given far too much space to break forward down their right. He gets as far as the penalty box but Giménez says enough is enough and slides the ball clear.

Kepa has been the only player inside the Real Madrid half for at least a couple of minutes. Atleti will be happy to get to half-time in front.

ALL Real Madrid at the moment.

Huge save from Kepa!
Atleti are getting away down the right time and again. Molina breaks into the box and does manage to pick out Saúl, whose first-time shot is blocked at close-range by Kepa!

From the corner, Valverde heads straight at Oblak. A decent chance!

Camavinga shot deflected just over!
Deafening whistles go round the ground as Griezmann goes down injured and Real Madrid play on. The visitors eventually get a shot away through Camavinga, which takes a touch off a defender and flies just over.

Lovely play from the hosts! Molina gets away down the right and looks to pick out Morata in the middle but Vázquez gets back to make a last-ditch interception before he pulls the trigger!
as.comPosted at: 15:32EDT24/09/2023
There's another one. Molina tries to thread the needle for Morata but doesn't quite hit the target. At least that one was in the opposition half.
as.comPosted at: 15:30EDT24/09/2023
Atleti careless in possession
They might be 2-0 up but Atleti have lost possession cheaply quite a few times already in this game. Real Madrid haven't been able to take advantage but Simeone will want his team to nip that in the bud.
as.comPosted at: 15:29EDT24/09/2023
Morata opens the scoring for Atleti!
You know how some players don't celebrate against their former clubs? Yeh, that's not Álvaro Morata.
as.comPosted at: 15:27EDT24/09/2023
Modric fires over!
In all honestly, you'd expect better from the Croat there. The ball falls to him from a clearance at the edge of the box but that's high, wide and not very handsome.

What did I just say?! What a player!

Griezmann...what a player!
Some intricate link-up with Lino and Morata almost leads to a chance for Moilina but they can't quite work the ball out to him.

Kroos' corner is cleared and Atleti race away on the counter! Lino skips past García and tries to feed Morata but his pass infield is cut out.

A free-kick in a VERY dangerous position here for the visitors!

Atleti are, as you might expect, happy to let Madrid have the ball. Valverde has a good chance to whip a cross in but opts to try to feed Vázquez, who is crowded out.
as.comPosted at: 15:18EDT24/09/2023
The game being played exclusively in the Atleti half at the moment. Which would've suited "vintage" Atleti down to the ground.
as.comPosted at: 15:16EDT24/09/2023
It's a bit early for desperation but Kroos lines one up from all of 35 yards. A deflection takes the sting out of it and Kepa claims easily.

Giménez heads just wide!
A great start for Atleti! Two players just miss Griezmann's corner, the ball is headed back in by Koke and Giménez directs a header narrowly wide!
as.comPosted at: 15:14EDT24/09/2023
I never think of Griezmann being especially quick but he very nearly gets a run on Rüdiger and would've been clean through if he'd managed to get a toe in the ball.
as.comPosted at: 15:13EDT24/09/2023
As much as Lino delivered a superb cross for Morata, García has just slashed a horror delivery into the stand behind the goal.

Just since I mentioned it, this was the Barcelona victory that took the reigning LaLiga champions back to the top of the table. We'll be doing well to get a game that's even half as dramatic as this one, which I was lucky enough to cover yesterday.
The Catalans were absolutely hopeless and Celta were superb for 80 minutes, but soccer matches last 90 minutes and Barça somehow managed to turn things around with three goals in the last 10 minutes.One of the greatest comebacks I have ever seen and one which nobody saw coming after Celta's second goal, which, by the way, was absolutely brilliant!

How have Real Madrid started the 2023-24 season?
The chances are you already know the answer to that question, but here we go anyway. Real Madrid have won every single game so far this season (five in LaLiga, one in the Champions League).
The won the first two by a two-goal margin but have since only managed to squeeze past Celta, Getafe, Real Sociedad and Union Berlin by the odd goal. In true Real Madrid fashion, Bellingham, of course, scored later winners in three of those matches, although they would undoubtedly prefer to get the job done a little earlier.
Victories for Barcelona and Girona on Saturday knocked Carlo Ancelotti's team off top spot, which they will regain with a win in the derby.

Antoine Griezmann to spearhead Atleti challenge
You can't a world-class soccer player unless you're known by your initials and number. Thanks Cristiano.

How have Atlético Madrid started the 2023-24 season?
In case you're looking at the above graphic and wondering how on earth Atlético can be in 10th place in the table while being so strong at home, that's because this is just their second game at the Metropolitano in 2023-24. After defeating Granada in mid-August, their next home fixture against Sevilla was postponed because of storms in Madrid (I thought it was always sunny in Spain?).
They've played three times on the road, with their most notable result an incredible 7-0 thrashing of Rayo Vallecano, although their last outing ended in a 3-0 loss to Valencia, which Simeone called one of Atleti's worst games in his almost 12 years in charge.

Many "new" soccer stadiums get criticism for being a bit too shiny and all looking the same, but this one is a cracker. Atlético's previous stadium, the Vicente Calderón, was as iconic as it was falling to pieces, but the fans have done a pretty good job at keeping the noise in at their new home.

Well, it turns out that the winger has not, in fact, suffered a recurrence of the hamstring problem that has kept him out of the last three matches but has instead been struggling with a dicky tummy. Poor thing.
Incidentally, man of the moment Jude Bellingham also missed some training this week for the very same reason, although he has now fully recovered and should be back at his swashbuckling, arm-rasing-after-scoring-a-goal best.

Atlético Madrid next to try to stop Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham
Jude Bellingham arrived at Real Madrid to plenty of fanfare in the summer and now we all know exactly why. He scored on his debut in pre-season and in his first competitive appearance against Athletic Club. He then bagged a brace against Almería and netted late winners against Celta and Getafe, that latter strike coming on his Bernabéu debut. After a quiet performance last weekend against Real Sociedad, he then went and secured another victory in injury-time for his team on his Champions League debut for Los Blancos against Union Berlin.
