Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 at the Metropolitano as the champions continued our perfect start to the season.

Despite Atletico Madrid starting brightly and having early chances, it was Real Madrid took the lead as Aurelien Tchouameni played an exquisite pass over the top of the Atletico Madrid defence to find Rodrygo, who prodded past the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper.

Real Madrid soon doubled the lead after Vinicius Junior ran onto a Luka Modric through ball before hitting the post but Federico Valverde reacted quickly to score the rebound.

With ten minutes left, Mario Hermoso scored from a Antoine Griezmann corner-kick and then got sent off minutes later after pushing Dani Ceballos.

Real Madrid held on to continue our perfect start to the season with Rodrygo named as Man of the Match.
