A painful landing for Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso in a game where even defeat is a forbidden word, let alone a debacle.
The "Royal Club" was humiliated in football in the neighborhood, and Atletico found a way to revive after a very poor start to the season - at the "Metropolitan" it was even 5:2 for Diego Simeone's "army".
Who could have predicted something like that after Real's 18 points in the first six rounds of La Liga and the stumbles of the "Colchoneros", which had two wins to date...
Everything in the Madrid derby was about Julián Álvarez, the guy who served Real Madrid revenge after their painful elimination in the round of 16 of the Champions League last season.
The "Blancos" then went to penalties, and the popular Spider was tragic because his goal from 11 meters was disallowed when he made two contacts with the ball during the shot.
All of that is behind Atletico and Real, this will be remembered today at least until the next clash.
The home team took an early lead through Robin le Normand., had chances to lead more convincingly, and then Real showed how much they could do and turned it around with goals Kylian Mbappe i Arde Guler.
However, Atleti's strength was obvious, and even after 1:2, they did not stop attacking and creating chances.
So Alexandre Serlot equalized before going into the break., and at the beginning of the second half, Guler kicked Nick Gonzalez in the head and caused penalty that Alvarez easily converted to make it 3:2.
Real's defense didn't ask much, followed by a masterful goal from a free kick by Alvarez for 4:2, and then the definitive capitulation of Thib Courtois when he was also checked by Antoine Griezmann.
How great a result this is for Atletico is also demonstrated by the fact that for the first time in 75 years, they have given Real Madrid five goals in competitive matches.
