The absence of Alaba, Rudiger and indeed we already know that Militao has been injured for a long time honestly gives concern in the end but Ancelotti's words before the winter transfer window opened he said that players like Tchouameni, Carvajal and Nacho could be used as options to get a good performance in defense and that was proven in this match.
Ancelotti knows whats best for Madrid at the moment and its true that his previous statements were answered in this match.
They must have had a headache when their 3 center-backs were suffering from fitness issues which would have hampered their performance but that doesn't apply to Ancelotti as Tchouameni, Carvajal and Nacho can be very useful in this case. i was also quite surprised that it wasn't Tchouameni at center back in this match but Carvajal who we know is the type of player who always helps in the attack.
There are only a few minutes left of normal time and it looks like Madrid will get the 3 points in today match because Atletico seem to be very troubled by the scheme that Ancelotti and Madrid are doing in this match but this is a good thing for Madrid in the end.
Real Madrid has gambled with their chances of having all three points, and chose to share points with Athletico Madrid by not scoring more goals in the second half when they had the opportunities to score.
Llorento was able to equalize the goal with a brilliant header on the last minute of the match. This has shown that this season Real Madrid is no superior to Athletico Madrid. Today's lost will affect Real Madrid on the table. Vini didn't play and maybe that was why it was somehow difficult for them to win the match.
Athletico Madrid held to their ground and played to make sure that they did not allow Real Madrid to defeat them, instead they made sure that they equalize the goal which was a brilliant step.
Well this match was very exciting, the truth was that from the beginning for me it was a clear dominance of Madrid over Altletico, for me there was no other better option, I have always thought that when things are tried to be done differently, we can see that They are very respectful, but when we saw that Ancelotti was removed, they removed Rodry because things got out of control, okay, I agree that they put Modric in, but he couldn't do all the work of the others, everyone could trust each other that he could do it, I think that the one who won only because they didn't score another goal, but rather that Ancelotti's strategy failed, it is not good that they make that type of changes like that, if I see that I have the advantage of 1 goal, I have to secure another I can't take out my poor gunners, not unless a purely defensive game is played, and Atletic came from all sides, Cholo had studied Ancelotti's strategy well.
Ancelotti did not do anything well in the last minutes, the things that are in elf+btol must be said, I praise Ancelotti when he does well, but I must be very critical, now, Madrid is on equal points with Girona, now Girona They have the advantage for everything and go ahead, these points are what Madrid should take advantage of, it is incredible that Madrid managed to win teams that have a higher level than Atletico, I hope that these losses do not have an impact on Madrid being left behind, but seeing it from another point of view, I like it because the field is very dynamic, it becomes much more economical, in fact Giraona has become a very surprising team, but these types of surprises are unpleasant, the only ones one seeks to always have Let it be, in this order of days we always try to do things better, that's why Madrid must learn from these failures, I know they didn't lose, but that's like a loss, they need those 3 points.

This match is going to be a tough one the both really need win in this match especially the host just to maintain the point gap to four points interval. ATLETICO MADRID won all their last five matches that show how strong they are while REAL Madrid won only four games and lose one against ATLETICO Madrid and now they are together again which ATLETICO Madrid will like to repeat the history while REAL Madrid will like to take the revenge of the past,
Just a few minutes before the start of the game we had a piece of bad news about Real Madrid and Vinicius Junior. We know Real Madrid has many injured players and they are players in Real Madrid they are not in the good form but Ancelotti was counting on Vinicius Junior.
Now it seems before the game against Atletico Madrid Vinicius Junior got injured and that's why Ancelotti couldn't have this player in the first squad.
The absence of him was really impacting the club. Real madrid becomes less offensive against atletico madrid and the match ended with draw as the result. Real madrid was unable in taking the advantage and this is very bad for the club. Girona potentially to surpass real madrid again in the upcoming game.
real madrid must have fully prepared about that and this is the only way for madrid to make the gap to be even bigger than before. I have known that if real madrid would be finding difficulties when it was facing atletico madrid. The statistic was also telling us about this too.
Im seeing atletico madrid as the rela competitor for real madrid caused by real was always so difficult to beat this club. The main weakness of real madrid when it faces atletico madrid caused by atletico madrid knows the main weakness of real madrid.
There's no update about how long vini will be absence from the team. yet another bad result from real madrid. Atletico madrid was adding a goal during the injury time which was making real madrid lost three points against it. Madrid gets only 1 point and that's bad.
Atletico has performed with so many midfielders.
Yes, Vinicius' thing is very bad, but it's not even that they would have acted like that, the truth is for me the squad and the squad as they had it were good, there is no other way they were doing excellent things, but from one moment to the next Ancelotti did some changes that I didn't see logic in, Bellingham, you can't take out a player like him when you have minimal gnanate, that's something that doesn't make sense to me, personally I've never done it, unless I had had a broad marking like 2nd endo that they have to flee their job, the risk of an injury or something, but at what price? They tied and I see this game as a loss, as if Madrid had lost, but not a draw, this complicates things a lot for them, I know that Atletico is a good team, but it's not because they played like that, they gave them hope importance to the rival, on occasions I saw that they played with a lot of respect, it is not possible that the things have turned out like that, because that is something that they did not care about, I would have kept this team until the 90th minute, then I would have done the same changes, and it would have cooled the game with everyone on defense and playing on the counterattack, that's what has to be done.
For many, this Result is a great Triumph for Atletic, obviously it Gives them a lot of Oxygen, and for Girona, because they have to learn to do things better, and they can take advantage of it now that they have the opportunity to add +3 points, I would say that This is their golden Opportunity , if they miss the opportunity to go ahead with a few more points, it is up to them to do it, but I could give all my strength to do things very well now that I can, I wouldn't worry about anything else but getting the first First place, because if Madrid goes down or loses or makes Another tie, they can go higher, if they score 6 or 7 points this League will become very good, this is something that we have seen before, Madrid stops win the game they have to win.
