Real Madrid currently broke many of the clubs records in the Spanish League. They made their 11 consecutive win in the league, which is the best second half start for the team. Scoring at least 3 goals in each of these eleven games, which is another record they broke, when they won 9 games with more than 3 goals scored. Also, in the Europe as whole, Real Madrid currently, is the only club that have won all the matches played on its stadium. With nine games left on the league, Real Madrid competition heats up with its biggest rival- Barcelona. Before talking about one of the most anticipated events of the year, I’d like to discuss some general facts about the team and their recent won over Atlético Madrid, most commonly known as being El Derbi madrileño. The matches luckily ended with a late come back from Real Madrid to win the match 3 to 2. Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid highlights 3 - 2


First of all, let me discuss both teams’ performance in the first half. Atletco Madird opened the scoring with Antonio Reyes at the tenth minute. The goal was a master piece, the finisher from Antonio, and Aguero who assisted him beautifully. This was a shocking goal for Real Madrid, as they didn’t expect that they will score so early. On the other hand, is was a “slap” of awakens for Real Madrid. Real Madrid began the match, almost for the whole first half with a very poor performance. Especially their passes, almost most of the passes were not completed. They looked very confuse. There were no real chances for Real Madrid except of two, One for Higuain and the other for Cristiano Ronaldo, and unfortunately they didn’t use them wisely.

At the very beginning of the second half, Real Madrid FINALLY made their way back. Xabi Alonso brought the hope back to the Santiago Bernabuo Stadium with a beautiful play from a corner kick. After the first goal, Alvaro Arbeloa scored the second for Real Madrid. Also this time the assist came from Xabi Alonso who passed a long ball to Arbeloa. Arbeloa found himself in front the goal and did not hesitate to score the second for Real Madrid. Then the turn came to Higuain to score the third for Real Madrid after a mistaken poor from the defense of Atletco Madird who were very confused. After just five minutes from Higuain’s goal, Diego Forlan scored the second goal for Atletco Madird from a penalty kick. Atletco Madird looked like they had a chance to come back, but, they didn’t.



Among the three goals Real Madrid scored, Arbeloa’s goal was the best I believe. He really took his goal in a professional way as if it was Ronaldo. Also, Xabi Alonso played one of his best games in the league. One ironic fact is that the previuse match between the teams ended with the same score, 3 - 2 for Real Madrid.After this Dramatic derbi between Atlitco and Real Madrid. Real Madrid came out from the match with precious 3 points which returned them to the top of the Spanish league, sharing it with barcalona.
