We’ll bring you all the build-up, live updates and reaction, so don’t go anywhere! Nobody disputes that this deal included a clause that would make the move permanent in 2023 for €40million (£35m; $40.1m). On Benzema, Ancelotti added: “He won’t make the game. On Militao, Ancelotti said: “He’s ready to play because he has trained well. And on Real’s strategy, Ancelotti added: “We use the tiredness strategy. We’re going to play a football match at an away ground. It’s a special game and that’s how we’re approaching it. Elche did not help themselves in that game, with Gonzalo Verdu and head coach Franciso Rodriguez sent off during the first half. The focus has to be on the football. It’s something we don’t talk about in the dressing room. We have to be patient with the youngsters. In the US, the game can be streamed on ESPN+

Courtois - Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, F. Well, it's the biggest show in town. 4 5 Atlético's XI: Oblak - M. 1 Players pulling out little routines is also nothing new in the game, and Brazilians are famous for their elaborate celebrations. Rodrygo is likely to start in the No. Tchouameni chips a ball over the Atleti back three and Rodrygo smashes it home on the half-volley. The Frenchman hits it superbly from 20 yards. Felipe is penalised for fouling in the box. Real Madrid are sitting very comfortably right now.

Goals from Rodrygo and Federico Valverde put Real Madrid ahead early, and a goal from Atletico's Mario Hermoso followed by a red card eight minutes later didn't ...

In the second half we didn't have as much of the ball to hurt them. In the end we suffered, we controlled the game but at the end we suffered. We've lost the derby, we've lost a very important game. But I think we were always in the game." When Rodrygo scored, Vinicius was first across to join him in what felt like a very deliberate dance on the touchline, and he was then the catalyst for Real Madrid's second goal with a trademark run down the left. They have players who are good on the ball and they also work defensively. In the second half we lost the idea to hurt them. Playing alongside Joao Felix in attack, it was Griezmann who was arguably Atletico's liveliest player in the first half, often dropping deep to get involved in play. Amid all the noise of a frantic Madrid derby, those two moments of quality made the difference. Just don't be surprised to see him back on the bench next time.

And both teams have sprung selection surprises going into it. Carlo Ancelotti has brought Eder Militao straight into the starting XI, partnering him with David ...

Real Madrid have a perfect record to protect on the day. The game between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano is expected to be a tight one. Griezmann had featured in all the other games this season as a second half substitute, even though he has been Atletico Madrid’s joint top scorer alongside Alvaro Morata, thanks to a complex loan situation with Barcelona.

Player ratings from the Madrid derby between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid at ...

CB: Reinaldo - 6/10 - Strong on the cover but took a first half yellow card. Forced to then think later on as Atletico threatened a comeback but saw it out. The goal was a little too late to matter. His red hot form was rewarded with another goal. Hooked after an hour and went straight down the tunnel. In the end, the dismissal killed what spirit Atleti had managed to briefly recapture. The Real goal had actually taken a little bit of sting out of Atleti and the second goal 35 minutes in was hardly surprising. Real were cruising and should have been able to see things out without problem. Diego Simeone rang the changes, putting Matheus Cunha, Alvaro Morata and Angel Correa into the game, yet it made minimal difference. The ball came back to him and the young Brazilian was able to finish impressively first time beyond Jan Oblak. Geoffrey Kondogbia had earlier just missed the target with a long-range effort at 0-0. Rodrygo and Federico Valverde each scored fine goals in the first half to provide a commanding lead.

The result restored Real Madrid as La Liga 2022-23 leader with 18 points, two ahead of Barcelona. It was also defending champions' ninth win in a row in all ...

Getafe won 2-0 at 10-man Osasuna for its second consecutive win after a poor start to the season. Atlético looked more in control throughout the match but couldn’t threaten much, while Madrid constantly appeared dangerous with the speed of Rodrygo and Vinícius up front. Rodrygo was in the starting lineup again to make up for the absence of striker Karim Benzema, who has missed three straight games because of a tendon injury. Atlético fans did not hold back from showing their displeasure, though, and some threw objects in the direction of the Madrid players. Rodrygo and Federico Valverde scored first-half goals as the defending champions won their ninth match in a row in all competitions. Rodrygo and Vinícius Júnior didn’t hesitate after Real Madrid opened the scoring at the Metropolitano stadium.

After Real scored two goals in the first half via Rodrygo and Fede Valverde, they managed to hold on fairly comfortably despite Mario Hermoso getting a goal ...

Carlo Ancelotti is one of the best man managers in the world, trusting his players to make the right decision, and when you have the quality that Real have on the pitch, that's pretty easy to do. Jan Oblak was expected to miss the match due to injury and he may have wished that he wasn't present as two of the three shots on target that he faced reached the back of the net. Diego Simeone expects his team to challenge for the top of La Liga every season but trailing Real Madrid, Barcelona and Real Betis by five or more points already, Atleti will be lucky to challenge for a Champions League place let alone get into the mix for the title if they don't clean things up. Roaming the center of the park, Tchouameni was able to get forward for passes like that while winning a tackle, making six clearances, and winning two interceptions. Involved in every phase of play, Tchouameni has been a strong addition to the squad while allowing the front three to cook the opposition. After scoring, Rodrygo and Vini Jr came together for a samba dance in the Metropolitano.

Goals from Rodrygo and Federico Valverde put Real in a commanding position against their rivals. A brilliant header by Napoli striker Giovanni Simeone helped his side to seal a 2-1 win at AC Milan and return to the top of the Serie A table. Atleti are seventh, eight points behind their neighbours. Nicolo Barella curled in a fantastic free-kick in the fifth minute to get Inter off to the perfect start but Udinese leveled when Roberto Pereyra's free-kick went in off Milan Skriniar. Vinicius and Rodrygo celebrated Real's opening goal in the game by dancing in front of the Atletico fans as Real continued their winning start to the season.

Real Madrid's win over Atletico Madrid was overshadowed by some abhorrent racist chanting aimed at Madrid's Brazilian forward Vinicius Jr. before the match.
