Yeah, very entertaining.
I think that we've seen even the two halves were actually exciting because we've seen goals in both halves.
I think that the second one, it was even more to see Real Madrid making that reaction from the very beginning.
We were expecting changes, but they arrived later on because Real Madrid already made the comeback with a 2-1 win.
These kind of games are always...
really defined by the small details and the small mistakes.
And today, I think that Atletico Madrid made the most.
Even though the chances were on both sides, that both teams had options to win the game, I think that Real Madrid managed better the tempo of the game.
The second half, it was all about making the combat, even when they needed to make another reaction after Molina's goal that got us all by surprise.
They managed to get the third one to win the game after Valverde sent off.
Real Madrid showed what we've seen, a lot better team and solid at the back, more compact and more balanced, something that I think that I've always been working very much in the last month, a month and a half.
And yeah, exciting for both sides and Real Madrid needed to do this, needed to win the three points and they made it.
A pity for Atletico Madrid that have their options, but in the end it was Real Madrid with those three points getting closer to Barcelona once again.
Yeah, exactly, because the atmosphere went down.
You could see that it was very quiet when Molina scored that second one.
And I thought that at that stage, both teams kind of looked at each other and said, OK, let's give it a rest to this breakdown on going in transition from one side to the other side.
Let's reorganize all together.
But it was Atletico Madrid making that mistake, and I totally agree with Craig.
If you start giving one, two options, three options, maybe another team, OK, you can get away with it.
But against Real Madrid, you know that you have to be 100% no mistakes and waiting for Real Madrid to don't have the day.
