It was derby day delight for Atlético Madrid, which shocked arch-rival Real Madrid at the Metropolitano Stadium in a comprehensive 3-1 victory.
Former Los Blancos striker Álvaro Morata gave Atlético the lead early on before it was extended by Antoine Griezmann. When things looked most dire for the visitors, veteran midfielder Toni Kroos pulled one back for Madrid before the break, but Morata restored the two-goal cushion seconds after the second half kicked off.
Kroos fired Los Blancos back into the game in the 35th minute when his powerful effort from the edge of the penalty area whistled past Jan Oblak in goal. Both goalkeepers were fairly busy in the opening half with some important stops, including Kepa getting down well to deny Ñíguez and Oblak saving another long-range attempt from Kroos.
