27-04-2013 - Atl. Madrid 1 - 2 Real Madrid
Real has pretty well digested the affront received Wednesday in Dortmund (4-1) in the semifinals of the Champions League. For their return to the championship, the Merengue bowed out to Atletico Madrid. In a fiery derby, they have taken over their rival (2-1) on Saturday at the 33rd day of Liga. If so poor, this win puts Mourinho's men in an ideal position to maintain their second place. With five games remaining, Atletico is now relegated to six units of its neighbor. Real returns to eleven points behind FC Barcelona, held in check in Bilbao (2-2) in the early evening. A comfortable gap but still preventing the Catalans to be sacred early.
They have passed the most part, did not dominate Merengue about them, far from it. Proof of this is that is Atletico who drew first well. Following a free kick, Diego Lopez pushed the ball into the feet of Godin. The center of it was deflected with a header by the inevitable Falcao (1-0, 4th). The Colombian scored his 26th goal of the season. An entry in express terms that translates Colchoneros stranglehold on the game. Real took a helping hand of fate, and an error Juanfran, who scored against his side to return to the game (1-1, 13th).
Like this clumsiness of a former tenant of the White House, Real showed a flawless realism to emerge victorious in the derby. And without Cristiano Ronaldo, injured, or Özil, rested, Di Maria took on the costume offensive number one asset. A service Benzema, Argentine deceived Courtois a flat left foot (1-2, 63). It is also the only dazzling the French, whose performance was bland to say the least. Align the tip of the attack in the game of musical chairs set with Higuain, the former Lyon has missed his only chance in a duel with Courtois (42nd).
The experimental defense of Real Madrid - Nacho, Ricardo Carvalho, Albiol, Essien - is often found on the edge of collapse. But neither Raul Garcia (49th) or Luis (85th) are able to bypass the rear Madrid. Falcao would have benefited from a penalty for a foul by Michael Essien (60) but the referee remained tasteless. Without reassurance on the bottom, Real garnered a valuable and essential success against his rival. This success does not change, however the almost desperate situation of Real Madrid in Champions League.
