Real Madrid extended their winning streak to 6 after beating Atletico Madrid in the Wanda Metropolitano.
Rodrygo opened the scoring in the 18th minute, receiving a nice dink from Tchuoameni before hitting a volley past the returning Jan Oblak.
Fede Valverde made it 2-0 in the 36th minute, reacting first to a loose ball in the box after Vinicuis’s saved shot came off the post.
In the second half, Atletico continued to search for a breakaway, while Vini kept making fancy moves in the Atletico box.
Despite their strong defensive showing of the night, Los Blancos just couldn’t hold for long as Substitute Mario Hermoso pulled one back in the 83rd minute.
A corner was swung in by Griezmann, which was missed by Thibaut Courtois, giving the Spaniard the chance to shoulder it into the net.
However, Hermoso went from hero to zero in the first minute of added time, as he received his second yellow card of the night after a challenge on Daniel Ceballos.
He already received a first after a head-to-head with Dani Carvajal.
Real Madrid held on to claim all 3 points, keeping their perfect start to the season.
The last time Los Blancos won 6 straight matches at the beginning of the league season was in 1988.
Real excel on derby day to overtake Barcelona at the top of the table with 18 points, 2 points above the Catalan giants.
Atletico remains in the 7th position with 10 points.
