Highlights of Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid: RMA 1-0 ATM; La Liga: Llorente’s late equalizer keeps Los Blancos atop despite a tie

In the final moments of Sunday night’s La Liga rivalry between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, there was an abundance of drama as Marcos Llorente’s equalizer in stoppage time gave Atletico Madrid the point. The hosts took the lead through a goal from Brahim Diaz in the first half, and it appeared as though they had done enough to hold onto their slim lead. However, Llorente came close in stoppage time to rescue a point for the visitors.
Atletico Madrid pulled off a 1-1 draw against their city rivals Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu, with Marcos Llorente emerging as the game’s pivotal moment.

The hosts had a much better start than the visitors, with Diego Simeone’s Atleti dropping back into two banks of five when they lost possession in an attempt to absorb the early pressure and surprise their opponents on the break.
Rather, the visitors were hemmed in by Atleti’s cautious mindset, and Diaz, Jude Bellingham, and Ferland Mendy all came near with early attempts.

Antoine Griezmann’s effort from a tight angle gave Atletico their first taste of home soil in the ninth minute. However, it was Diaz who opened the scoring, and rightfully so for the league leaders, 11 minutes later.
