An icon of Real Madrid, Yugoslav and Montenegrin football, Predrag Mijatović believes that his club was the better rival in the Madrid derby.

The derby at the "Santiago Bernabeu" ended in a draw last night, 1:1. Real remained the leader after the 23rd round, with a point advantage over Atletico.

"In that derby, each team had a half. The first was Atletico's, due to a goal and several dangerous attacks. In the second, Real's complete dominance," Mijatović told "As" and added:

"In the first half, Real were apathetic, without play and confused, but in the second half we saw one of Real's best halves this season. That's how they needed to play - bravely, with desire and aggression, with high pressing and without any fear," MIjatović shared his impressions.

The former Real Madrid player and director is not satisfied with the outcome, although...

"With such a performance and performance in the second half, Real even deserved to celebrate. Although a draw is a good result, because the team remains at the top of La Liga," concluded Mijatović.
