The eight points of distance that separated Real Madrid Atletico provided grounds to think that last night's derby could be put an end to a run of the mattress that lasted 13 years . Since 1999 the rojiblanco was unable to rival toserle citizen and shock yesterday appeared to be the most viable option to storm the bastion Madrid. However, the confidence with which the players came to grief Cholo Simeone was offset by an adversary through the boots of Cristiano Ronaldo was reunited with the good feelings. There was, of course, the game that many expected, but the intensity and rivalry at times the stake was faultless. They won a calm unexpected targets (2-0).
For Atletico this was the acid test. His hectic start of exercise, which had boosted the second place gave him the benefit of the doubt, but succumbed because Christian was huge and because some of his men, as Diego Costa, I was walking. The Brazilian did not miss any brawl but the inspiration of his team offense. Falcao was a deserted island like never gone by the absence of centers from the sidelines-Luis Filipe downward too much-noted attendance of some friends with the bulb off and the superiority of those who did have the night. Cristiano scored, attended and was enraged with the wood, which prevented on two occasions that the ball punched Courtois' goal.
The match started well for Atletico, because at least in the first two minutes did not concede a goal and had the first clear chance after an inmate of that Falcao Diego Costa finished off the body of Casillas. The hope would be short, as a lack of which will come in handy to Cristiano end the unbeaten visitors keeper. Since April they had not scored from a free in the Portuguese domestic championship, curiously against the same opponents and at the Vicente Calderón, but his aim waited a day 'D' to overcome the barrier and placed the ball out of reach of Courtois. The therefore not encouraged or frustrated one another. Little was intended to take the ball, creating game. The fight was rather soul, with constant battles between the protagonists.
Do not thanked the audience, he met a derby too coarse, with some players more concerned to destroy than to build, at times boring. The occasion of Falcao was the first and the only one that missed Atlético to Arda, author of the hand that meant missing the first goal. The minutes passed with no more stories to tell that the constant interruptions caused by both sides, as Christian, the most active player duel, brooded in silence on overcoming the network rojiblanco. Their perseverance was rewarded in the second act, where on especially in the final stretch, the awakened Mourinho.
First, a lack that this time it stopped Courtois, then a luxury Özil assistance that resulted in the German goal, then, with another release set pieces that eventually spat the crossbar with a manual counterattack again prevented the wood finish in the third of the night. Simeone, who had introduced to Adrian and Thiago, saw his plan to storm the Bernabeu is going to ruin while the stands cheered his men, who continue to eleven points behind but have cut the gap to the runner up to the five points. No big deal the derby, but as always lately, I ended up wearing the Real Madrid. Cotton does not deceive, and Christian, either.
Mourinho's show
The curious image of the night, or pathetic, depending how you look, was the departure of Jose Mourinho at 21:20, as promised, to the Bernabeu to rule. The downside to the Portuguese at this hour is that White Coliseum was rather empty, so you barely heard the voice of Real Madrid. It was a snapshot unheard, unseen, and was had more prominence among the swarm of reporters who surrounded him in a hobby that you will, where appropriate, to assess for good or bad job.
