The first derby of the season was a rarefied affair. The spectre of 90s football racism hung over the match thanks to a snowball that self-styled sports ...
The goal was scored from a corner in which Courtois misjudged the ball and the ball hit Hermoso's shoulder and ended up in the back of the net. The fans pushed the team on, but the striker himself lost his head when he was confronted by Carvajal for a foul on Reinildo, who was only looking for that, the lack of control of one of the red and white players. Munuera Montero conceded and Hermoso was sent off two and a half minutes after giving his team a chance to level the match. There went Vinicius to prove that the problem for the red-and-white fans is not the rival's celebrations, it is their frustrations towards the team and towards Simeone with a marriage that is already broken. The Red and Whites' chances caused no problems for a defence that earned the praise of Simeone himself at the end of the game. By the way, the definition was with extraordinary force, half a metre from the goal line and with little angle.

I don't mean here at Atletico Madrid, I mean all over the world in every stadium you go as a rival, sometimes I'm shocked at what I see and hear behind my goal. "It's all about education, if I go with my kids and they say one bad thing like this in a stadium they're grounded for a month. "We have to call it how it is, it's a disgrace. Obviously it can be a minority of fans but it's a disgrace. "There are kids who are six, seven, eight, nine years old and their parents are insulting me in the worst way.
