The Guardian reported that Atlético Madrid beat 10-man Real Madrid in a fractious Madrid derby, with Jonathan David among the scorers after Dean Huijsen’s red card tilted the match. Diego Simeone’s side were 2-0 up before Antonio Rüdiger’s late header set up a tense finish.
José Mourinho’s first derby back at Real ended in defeat, while the report said Atlético had already seen the game swing through a VAR review that turned Jude Bellingham’s booking into a red for Romero instead. The evening also featured multiple bookings and two staff dismissals before half-time.
