The "Madrid Derby" is once again a classic battle. In the early morning of January 11, Beijing time, the first semi-final of this season's Spanish Super Cup was played between two strong teams from Madrid. Real Madrid eliminated Atletico Madrid 5-3 on aggregate with two goals in extra time and advanced to the final first.
Both sides played very positively. Just six minutes into the game, Antoine Griezmann set up Elgrope to score with a header to give Atletico the lead. However, Real Madrid were quick to respond, with Toni Rudiger and Edouard Mendy netting twice in the 20th and 29th minutes to put them 2-1 up. Antoine Griezmann scored just before half-time, two goals each in the first 45 minutes.
In the 78th minute, Rudiger set up an own goal in a goalmouth scuffle, making Real Madrid 2-3 passive. However, the "Galaxy Battleship" after the indiscriminate bombardment paid off, and in the 85th minute, Carvajal scored a supplementary goal, 3-3, and the two teams drew in regular time.
Savic's own goal gave Real Madrid the lead in the final stages of extra-time.
In extra time, the two teams were still inseparable, and it was not until the final stage that the winner was decided. In the 116th minute, Carvajal's cross caused Atletico Madrid defender Savic to set up an own goal, and in stoppage time, Dias seized the opportunity of the opponent's goalkeeper to abandon the goal and scored an empty goal with a long drive, 5-3, Real Madrid won the goal battle with difficulty.
Dias used Atletico Madrid's entire force to score an empty goal in the last minute to lock the score at 5-3.
The manager told us that as Real Madrid players we have to fight to the end, we never lost confidence and courage in the game, and after 3-3 we knew we would win in extra time. Carvajal, who scored the crucial goal for Real Madrid, said this after the game. Indeed, such a comeback excites Real Madrid fans, and the eight goals also make neutral fans enjoyable. Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said: "The game was open, Atletico played well in the first half and we were better in the second half......The [physical] exertion is particularly high, and it's an important game. ”
After scoring three goals but failing to win, Atletico lost this game. Coach Simeone generously said after the game that Real Madrid were indeed the better side in extra-time, but he also praised his players, "We played a good game and we were close to victory. ”
Like last year, this year's Spanish Super Cup is still being played in Saudi Arabia. The other two participating teams are Barcelona and Osasuna, and the semi-finals between them will be played in the early hours of January 12 Beijing time.
