The magic of Bernabéu is back.

Real Madrid vs Athletico doesn’t always end well for  Simeone side.
Atletico players don't know what to do with the ball when they have to score a goal.
Defending all of the time is no main tactical. It's Simeone fault. The potential to be Giants is dead

This would perhaps boost their confidence quite a bit. They still have a chance at la liga as they’re currently just 3 points behind the league leaders Barcelona. I think this win over Athletico Madrid is a much needed morale booster and they needed one.

The match against Athletico Madrid was an interesting and entertaining game. Real Madrid staged a heroic comeback. They equalized the game and went ahead to comfortably win it he game with 2 more goals. Now, that’s a comeback. Great game overall and a nice win for Real Madrid.

The extraordinary game shown by both teams in this Copa Del Rey match which was titled Derby. Yes, they both want to win. Even though Atletico Madrid had taken the lead at first, a goal from Rodrygo could have dashed Atletico Madrid's hopes in 10 minutes of normal time. In the end they had to continue the match in extra time, and the results were unlucky for Atletico Madrid, the red card that the Atletico madrid players got really changed the game, and the 2 goals that came too after they played with 10 people.

Atletico Madrid has been managed by Simeone who has his philosophy totally focuses on defense. Since the departure of Diego Godin, a new era of Atletico Madrid came and their defense system has become weaker in last few seasons.

In this season, they not only have more problems in defense but also in attacking. With a weaker defense and a less effective attacking system, Atletico Madrid have worse performance and become less competitive in La Liga. Real Madrid again shown that they are a very dangerous team and if opponents fail to beat Real Madrid with big difference, they can come back and flip results at the end.

I am not sure why Atletico Madrid have too many problems with their fouls and cards this season. It can be something wrong with referees or something wrong with their coach and players. Maybe their players are no longer disciplined as they used to be which makes them more vulnerable to cards, especially red cards and were sent off early more regularly.

Atletico Madrid have always had a bitter end against Real Madrid in major competitions and now saw how weak Atletico were after Rodrygo after scoring a goal to equalize normal time into extra time.
Indeed, Stefan Savic's exit with the accumulation of a second yellow card made the direction of Atletico's defense chaotic and I will say again that Stefan Savic always plays rough with his tackles so that after he came out the Atletico game changed so that he could not withstand attacks from Real Madrid who were able to score 2 goals during extra time.

This will make them back to confident after lost 1-3 versus Barcelona on Super Cup. In La Liga stand, those 3 difference points they must have to chase if still want to compete with Barcelona. We know their performance is not well when comparing it to the last session. maybe injury and tired factor still a Madrid problem has

Agreed, after stefan savic was getting red card and this is also changing the game play tempo by atletico madrid. Atletico madrid may able to push the game into the penalty if atletico madrid was not wasting its chance by getting 1 red card against real madrid.
That's very unlucky moment for atletico madrid. Stefan savic should not do that. It's very bad to see the performance from atletico madrid at this moment.

Real Madrid has indeed shown Atletico Madrid that they are the real rulers in the city of Madrid, the quarter-final match entitled the derby was quite tough throughout the match evidenced by the number of cards in the game, in my opinion, Madrid victory today was not easy, especially for almost 60 minutes Atletico managed to excel but unfortunately their failed to maintain this victory, lucky enough for madrid to finally win the match with score 3-1 after athletico had to play with 10 players due to the red card received by Savic.

The red card was one of the right reasons in this case because in 90 minutes of normal time Atletico could still defend well when they were playing with 11 players but the red card made it a little difficult for them with the domination carried out by Madrid.
but btw talking about this victory see the counter goal scored by Rodrygo in this match really became a very good solo run.

I think their strategy is still quite good, the fact is that they were able to contain Madrid, which had a very difficult time breaking through their defense in normal times with high domination.
The red card definitely cost them and that is a fact when they immediately lost their balance and conceded 2 goals after the red card from Savic in the 99th minute.

Yes, basically the loss of Atletico Madrid isn't caused by the red card but because of the wrong strategy applied by the coach.
I think Simeone was too early to substitute Morata and Griezmann with other players. If Simeone keeps Morata and Griezmann until the match ends, we may see a different result of this match. Replacing these two players make Atletico has no power in attacking, they only focus on defense. This strategy triggered a red card got by Savic, strong attack of Real Madrid makes Atletic defenders become chaotic. In the extra time, Atletic became more chaotic because they only played with 10 players.

Yeah, I pick real madrid over atletico madrid. Glad to see that my pick was the right choice. It seems like that atletico madrid still has nothing against real madrid. Los blancos being qualified for the next round while atletico madrid must be stopped in the last match against madrid. Glad to see madrid was following barcleona to get a good result. Will final between Barcelona against madrid come back again? I hope this will come true. Madrid was dominating the match. 3 goals from 6 shots on goal. that's a very good accuracy from madrid. atletico must have improved its team even more.
It's not equal with real madrid at this moment even griezmann has been playing so well.

As I said before, it is impossible for Real Madrid to let Atletico Madird win, of course Real Madrid will show its strength and still win. Benzema always surprises in every match, so it's certain that Real Madrid will find it easy to win when Benzema contributes on the pitch.

The red card impacted the extra time and not the game. ATM was leading with 1 goal for 60 minutes and failed to secure it at the end. This cost them the whole match since in the extra time, they were playing with 10 players vs 11 and both Benzema and Vinicius didn't let ATM try their luck in penalties.
At the end, Real Madrid game was quite hard comparing to Barcelona

It cannot be denied that Barcelona won with many merits, really, Benzema's goal was eventually the goal of the man, a goal that was very significant, in all this I think that Ancelotti must make some changes in his strategies, he must move his players and play at an even more dynamic level, I don't know if you have noticed, but apparently Real Madrid plays and saves a lot of strength for the second half, and that can be a good or bad thing, because it is difficult to come back, and it must be counted With a lot of luck, sometimes they can fall short, as happened with those 3 goals that they allowed themselves to score, it seemed to me that they played very badly.


Well, the truth seems to me that here Real Madrid showed what they are made of, because now with everything they went through in this match, Rodrygio, Benzeema and Vini Jr. stood out for me, they are key players at Real Madrid, really These players make the difference and I see that hjoy had another vision, I can't deny that Morata's goal was excellent, I don't know how Cholo will handle things but they have to do something urgent to solve these things and these types of problems, the Atlético has a very good team, but I think they have to sweat the shirt more, perhaps the cholo's strategy is not giving him adequate results.

Madrid, with their strong attack, was held up by the Atletico defensive style, which is what they usually do.
It was clearly a match worth playing although admittedly it was marred by Stefan Savic's red card which left Atletico shaky going into second half extra time.
This condition was put to good use by Madrid and their 3 strikers really performed very well in this match.

The match between Real Madrid vs Athletico Madrid in the quarter finals is now over with Real Madrid being the victor with 3 goals to Athletico Madrids 1.

It was a pretty tense and interesting match. I would say the match was a bit difficult for Athletico Madrid as Real Madrid dominated the game mostly in the second half as it was in the second half that Real Madrid sort of came to life and scored the three goals to put them ahead to win the match and advance further up.

After you wrote this, the goal was immediately created for Real Madrid
They are really in a strong dominance in the middle of Atletico's defense which is always a little troublesome but they are able to overcome it.
The substitutions of several players were quite effective and Rodrygo became the opener for Atletico's disaster. Now they are playing with 10 players and they have to be left behind by 1 goal. This is clearly difficult, especially with the condition that they always carry out defensive schemes and counterattack.

Atlético's defense was quite good but indeed with a lot of pressure it is clear that it will be more difficult with possession and the chances that Madrid have it is clear that sooner or later something like this can happen especially we know that Madrid are one of the specialists in the last minutes.
Now 10 minutes of extra time remain and Atletico are playing with 10 men and losing by one goal this is disastrous for them.

Elche have not won any match in the La Liga this season, they are in 20th position and have taken only 6 points from 6 draws, Sevilla have been bad this season too, but they are now out of the relegation area, they are up to 15th and they have 18 points. I think they should also have a comfortable victory against Elche, if they win, it will help them move higher in the La Liga table, it is very important for Sevilla to win games against the very bad teams like Elche, because they may also likely drop points against the big teams, so to stay safe they have to win many of the matches they are expected to win.
