Real Madrid have suffered a shocking defeat of 3-1 against Atletico Madrid. This ended their perfect start to the campaign in La Liga. The Sunday night fixture at Metropolitano was intense, showcasing Atleti taking an early lead through Alvaro Morata’s powerful header through Kepa in just 4 minutes.
It was followed by Antoine Griezman‘s header in the 17th minute, adding salt to the wounds of the Los Blancos. Atletico Madrid delivered the final blow with Morata’s brace shortly after half-time.
However, 33-year-old Toni Kroos tried to set up a chance for a comeback with a goal before half-time, which was unsuccessful. Real Madrid were caught under pressure with another disallowed goal.
