A second-half goal from substitute Arda Turan proved the winner as Atletico Madrid beat city rivals Real Madrid 2-1 in Saturday’s derby at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Only 10 minutes had ticked off the clock when Tiago opened the scoring for the guests, but after enjoying the majority of possession Real Madrid equalised 16 minutes later through a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty.
That would be the only goal the hosts would muster, however, and some neat interplay between Antoine Griezmann and Juanfran set up Turan for the decisive strike in the 76th minute.
Real Madrid, who came into the match on the back of a loss to Real Sociedad, will now have some adjustments to make ahead of next week’s Champions League match against Basel, while Atletico will go into their Tuesday tussle with Olympiakos full of confidence.
Following are some of the winners and losers from the Madrid derby.
