In a duel with emotions from start to finish, Real Madrid narrowly beat Atlético de Madrid playing at the Cívitas Metropolitano stadium for the sixth matchday of LaLiga Santander. Carlo Ancelotti's team opened the scoring in the 18th minute of the first half through Rodrygo. Later, in the 36th minute, Federico Valverde took advantage of a rebound off the post to extend the lead. The second half didn't seem to improve for the 'colchoneros'; however, they found a goal in the 83rd minute with a goal by Mario Hermoso. It was the perfect opportunity for Simeone's team to equalize, but it wasn't enough. The 'Casa Blanca' knew how to dominate the actions until the final whistle and takes the three points home. In the next matchday, Madrid hosts Osasuna at the Bernabéu, while 'Atleti' visits the always tough Sevilla.
