I don't think it was Flick's fault, all the changes for this match were not his fault, but because of injuries, so he just faced circumstances that he couldn't influence. It's hard to say whether Szczesny could have played better or not, but several goals were due to the goalkeeper's mistake, so this problem needs to be solved in any case.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first match when Real played without Mbappe, he missed the match due to injury. Matches against Atletico are always difficult, and Real is just getting into shape now, so I expected that it would be difficult for Real to win, although Atletico managed to equalize the score only at the end of the game in extra time. Barcelona were lucky that Real couldn't win, so they maintain a three-point lead over Real, but instead they could have used this and increased their lead even more.

In fact, Real Madrid was about to win the match but Atletico Madrid scored in extra time. Both Madrid teams had to settle for a point. The fact that neither team won this week, when Barcelona lost, was a bad experience for them. If Atletico or Real had won the match, they would have gotten 9 points this week. Anyway, we will now examine the results of the other matches with curiosity. With these results, Barcelona is still in an advantageous position.

As early as it seems, the tittle race is already interesting. There is still a long way to go but the earlier Madrid close the gap, the better for them. Madrid derby is now interesting to watch than El classico due to high tense of the game. A draw game that feels like a defeat for Madrid but I blame Ancelotti who ruined the game for himself. He failed to learn from last season mistake against the same Athletico Madrid.

Ancelotti decided to retreat and defend by emptying the midfield and attack which automatically invite pressure because by doing so, you're giving your opponent confidence to get back to the game. He gamble the match and he has equally paid the reward for his mistakes. Despite making awful changes, he still makes it late. It wasn't entirely a bad game but I really expect more than what I watched yesterday despite the little improvement I noticed.

Real Madrid's failure securing three points last match after being draw by Atletico Madrid should been able take advantage by Barcelona's manager Hansi Flick how to improve their team performance and securing three points on every match.
The being draw match result last night between Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid become positive result for Barcelona because keep leading the first standings position awhile behind 3 points remaining.

Before facing Alaves on upcoming match in La Liga, Barcelona will face important match in UEFA Champion League against Young Boys and its very important match to secure three points after defeating on first match from Monaco.
I doubt with Barcelona keep consistent with their performance if huge rotation regarding last match defeated from Osasuna after Hansi Flick put on the bench some regular players.

Hansi Flick should have been able to take advantage of this moment well to get away from Real Madrid's pursuit, but he made a big mistake by making unnecessary rotations and finally suffered his first defeat in La Liga this season.

The Madrid derby always presents a high-tension match, a draw is fair because Real Madrid always have a hard time when facing Atletico. This result made Real Madrid successfully extend their unbeaten record, but on the other hand Barcelona were very relieved because Real Madrid failed to reduce the gap with them. In the next match, Barcelona will play away to Alaves headquarters, Hansi Flick must be more careful when preparing his squad so that the same mistake does not happen again, they must be able to keep their distance from Real Madrid so that their position remains safe.

Atletico Madrid supporters were clearly the provocateurs, they were the supporters who attacked the Real Madrid goalkeeper by throwing dangerous objects and there was also one Atletico Madrid supporter who threw a lighter at Courtois, he was carrying a sharp weapon in his pocket, this must be condemned by FIFA for this, it is very dangerous and in my opinion with this incident there is a continuation of the process against supporters who were not orderly in the match last night, the Madrid derby match clearly left many concerns for supporters, but if they brought sharp weapons of course this would be like a war and in my opinion punishment must be imposed on Atletico Madrid supporters.

The match was very emotional and my bet lost, it was very sad in the last minute I watched it until the end but Correa's goal was a bad thing for my night, but this match was quite satisfying I watched with a trembling heart but what can I do, everything failed for my victory in the 90+5 minute

In this La Liga match between atlatico madrid and real madrid we saw a tough competition. Till the last minutes both teams tried hard to win against each other but neither team could defeat the other team. In the first 45 minutes of the match both teams tried to score against each other but they did not succeed there but in the middle of the second half of the match a great goal was given to the team by the team's central back É. Militão. 

His goal gave Real Madrid a chance to win, but Correa saved Atletico Madrid from certain defeat by scoring late in extra time. The goals equalized the two teams and they also performed equally on the field and the game between these two teams felt like we were watching El Clasico.

The derby is tense but Real Madrid tried to play more attacking at beginning of second half and they succeeded with an opening goal. However, Simeone make some changes and in the first extra minute for injury time, Atletico Madrid get an equalizer. That goal comes too late and there is no much time for Real Madrid to score another goal.

This draw can not help Real Madrid to reduce gap with Barcelona and now they have 3 points less than Barcelona. Atletico Madrid stands at a third position with 5 points less than Barcelona and 2 points less than Real Madrid.

It's early to say this La Liga season will have only three clubs joining the title competition but with player resources of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, it's very possible that the title race will be among them, if not between only two of them. Below these clubs, there are four clubs with same 14 points, Athletic Club, Mallorca, Villareal and Osasuna. Two big clubs Valencia and Sevilla are in troubles with Valencia is in relegation zone now and Sevilla are not too far from this zone.

Derby matches always have unexpected things because of the fans' actions that are difficult to contain. But the consequences of excessive action will certainly make the host get strict sanctions from the Authorities.

Real Madrid had to be willing to get one point in the Derby match because the hot tension made the rhythm of the game uncontrolled, so Atletico was able to equalize. The additional one point certainly made El Real fail to overthrow Barcelona but with such a match certainly did not make Ancelotti despair, moreover he also could not field a full team squad. I am still sure that Madrid will soon dream because there is still a lot of time.

I also bet on BTTS. But I was pessimistic about the 0-1 result before the match had to be stopped first because of Atletico supporters. After that, I stopped watching and just left my bet. After waking up today I saw that my bet had won. I didn't think the match would end in a draw again. Adding to the record of their meetings which are difficult to determine the winner. The Madrid derby match does provide a different feeling of competition for fans. But what happened certainly harmed several parties. Supporters must be wiser and not easily provoked. If the club gets a penalty or fine, fans will definitely feel the impact.

As we have seen in the previous Madrid derby match, of course the match was also full of controversy and also emotions, the match that continues to trigger high intensity in derby match has always presented a high attraction to watch so far, since the beginning of the match the two teams has attacked each other and tried to continue to pressure the opponent's defense so it is inevitable if the match will take place very tight and ended dramatically, but the final result of 1-1 for both teams is actually a fair result even though it still makes Madrid 3 points behind Barcelona at the moment, so far Atletico and Madrid are still unbeaten teams in the league and it is worth seeing how long they will be able to maintain that good record?

Speaking of longer extra-time compared to the past few seasons, I think you should know that extra-time will depend on what happens in the game, such as the length of the var check,  the waste of time by the player and incident that occurred on the pitch that required the referee to stop the match temporarily, what happened in the Atletico vs Madrid match where the referee added extra time to 8+ is none other than because in the 64th minute the match was also stopped by the referee due to a throw made by Atletico Madrid supporters against Courtois, so that the additional time we see today in many football matches is relatively longer than before the new rules from FIFA in 2023 and it seems that it is indeed most leagues in Europe also apply that new rules.

High tension in Real Madrid matches is nothing new regarding their city rivals, playing as a guest is not easy for Real Madrid, of course it looks very difficult when receiving pressure, Real Madrid's lack of defense in the second half and the creation of a goal in injury minutes is certainly very painful for Real Madrid, even so ATM was able to avoid defeat at home and at least they were able to thwart the standings of their city rivals who are likely to be at the top of the La Liga standings, of course Barcelona benefited from this draw, even so Barcelona must remain consistent in the next match to secure their standings.

It's really hard to imagine that any other team will take the position of Barcelona. In this season Barcelona did not lose a single match before the last match. Real Madrid is trying to catch Barcelona but the team did not take advantage of the opportunity. 2nd and 3rd in the points table are not weak teams which makes it difficult to decide who will win.

Real Madrid squandered an opportunity. If they somehow won they would have been level with Barcelona. There is still a long way to go so in the points table may change. Either Real Madrid or Atlético Madrid could be the best as they are strong and everything is uncertain. Barcelona losing 4-2 to Osasuna after a 7 match winning streak is certainly this is no trivial matter. If you don't always give your best in the game, you can lose against any team whether they are strong or weak team.

Yes, Barcelona game was quite bad in that match, I also saw Barcelona game was not like before so it was quite natural when they failed to win against team below them, it just that no one expected Barcelona defeat.
Bad thing was the back line, they made some mistakes and that was very disappointing for the fans, hopefully in the future Barcelona can immediately get back their players who are absent and can play well again.

Today for the match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid also ended quite dramatically, the competition between the two was very fierce until Real Madrid as the favorite team in this match was only able to create 1 goal and was replied to in the second half added time.
Score ended in draw 1-1 and this is the umpteenth match or meeting for both of them which had to end in draw, indeed Atletico Madrid is not an easy opponent because they often make some unexpected surprises.
I took BTTS for this match because I know guessing the winner is quite difficult and the double chance option is no longer available.

Barcelona lost their last match against Osasuna. Barcelona lost the match 4-2. It was Barcelona's first defeat in La Liga after they won 7 matches. Barcelona's attacking performance was somewhat poor. At the same time Osasuna players also performed well in the match.

Real Madrid had a big chance to close the points gap with Barcelona. Real Madrid were 4 points behind Barcelona at the start of the season with two draws against Las Palmas and Mallorca. Real Madrid could reduce the points gap with Barcelona if they win yesterday's match with Atletico Madrid. But the team also drew this match. So Real Madrid is still 3 points behind Barcelona.

Real Madrid team is not performing well in away matches this season. In every home match, Madrid's players are playing brilliantly. But their performance in away matches is slow. The team failed to win all three away matches.

It is difficult to maintain an unbeaten record because maintaining consistency is not easy when a team does not have better squad depth. Barcelona's defeat against a much easier team was indeed very surprising where they looked like they had lost their best form. The two clubs that still hold the unbeaten record in La Liga also had to share points in the last match and the match was quite tense.

Real Madrid missed the chance to close the gap on Barcelona and Mbappe's injury with several other key players made it difficult for them to develop their game. Atletico Madrid managed to match Real Madrid's game so that the match ended in a draw.

The Madrid derby match was really tense, I thought Real Madrid would be able to beat Atletico Madrid, but unfortunately, Atletico Madrid was no less great, so Real Madrid seemed to have a very difficult time scoring a goal against Atletico Madrid because Atletico madrid defenders were very close and strong, and vice versa Real Madrid. was very strong in this match so that in the end it was natural that the score in this match only resulted in a score of 1-1.

In my opinion, without Mbappe playing, it is now clear that something is missing and Real Madrid's performance is different, unlike when Mbappe is playing. But honestly, I also admire Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid because they have tried their best to win. Now Simeone must be able to make Atletico Madrid's performance better so that they can continue to climb the rankings and likewise, Ancelotti must of course try to improve Real Madrid's performance.

If you look at the standings, of course it is clear that Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are currently really competing and of course the 3 teams must be able to improve their performance and I think these 3 teams will continue to compete until the end of the season and the strongest will definitely be the one who will win. champion title. but my prediction is that Real Madrid will have great potential and will win the title again, what do you all think?

It is not easy for Real Madrid to beat Atletico because we all know how they have performed so far so I also do not choose between them who will win this match because a draw is likely to happen as both clubs do not want to lose points completely.
I bet on BTTS and I think Real Madrid will win in the final minutes because I have not seen any signs of Atletico equalizing but who would have thought in the extra time Atletico Madrid took advantage of Madrid's carelessness and managed to score an equalizer before the end of the half and one of Atletico's players got a red card and in the end my bet was right both teams scored goals although no one won here.

Honestly i was thrilled when i saw the equalizing goal in the last 7 minutes of the game. No doubt the Atletico fans were very happy that the goal was awarded and not denied after the VAR completely checked. Yeah your right, today i was expecting that after the loss of Barcelona to Osasuna , Real Madrid would use that as an opportunity to get closer to Barcelona. Maybe i expected too much from them because Atletico has never been easy for Real Madrid to completely defeat them without a strong challenge. Obviously we saw the effort from the Atletico coach, he wanted to win the game of there were more time . Since Real Madrid to win today game, Barcelona still has more points ahead in the league table. I am certain that Barcelona's next game they will surely win it. The reason for them losing in their last game is for the UCL games ahead which is much more important.

Since you already had a belief in yourself that the game between Real Madrid vs Atlético Madrid is likely to be a draw, you might have won the bet if you bet on a draw. Yes, it is true that we have seen teams like Barcelona lose to Osasuna, in which case Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are both strong teams and there is a possibility of a draw here. Although one of Atlético Madrid's players had to be sent off after receiving a red card, they still managed to stop a great attack. However, with the two teams still unbeaten in La Liga after the draw, I believe that these two teams will have a good rivalry at the moment.
