Real Madrid title hopes hurt by ten-man Atletico
Real Madrid’s title hopes suffered a further setback after being held by 10-man rivals Atletico Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid maintained whatever slim hopes they have of retaining the La Liga title with a 1-1 draw against 10-man Atletico Madrid on Saturday
Madrid knocked down behind in the 78th minute when Jose Maria Gimenez make off home from close range. The goal menace to give Atletico – down a man after Joaquin Correa was sent off for rudely Antonio Rudiger- their first win at the Santiago Bernabeu since 2016.
But Rodriguez rose highest to head Luka Modric’s corner past Oblak with five minutes remaining, becoming the youngest player to score in a Madrid derby in the 21st century
Rodriguez’s profile in the first team has grown considerably over the last week. Playing in La Liga for the first time last weekend, the Spanish-born Uruguayan international set up the second of Madrid’s two goals in the 2-0 win over Osasuna. Ancelotti then included Rodriguez in the squad that came back to beat Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Atletico Authenticated after the game that left-back Reinildo put up with an anterior cruciate ligament break off in a first-half collision with Federico Valverde, likely ruling him out for the rest of the season.
