Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

You have the option of going ahead.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

You have the option to equalize the game.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

So you make sure at the Bernabeu that you don't leave spaces, that you don't leave probably the most important player

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

on the field that is vinicius junior in transition or valverde without no mark without a space to run and against a player who is not used to defend that he was um alex by nine that second half so um too many mistakes too many options to real madrid that of course when they play at the bernabeu

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

they're going to take them and it was that third goal who actually when we saw this like this is even with Valverde going out you could see that Real Madrid was ready to keep those three points whatever it was needed and the reaction with also with Arbeloa bringing on

Carreras on the left side, putting Frank Garcia on the left side too to try to keep it tight and together.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

So in the end, I think that Real Madrid did what they have to do.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

They managed to come back in a very difficult situation right after the second half when you might expect Atletico Madrid to be very compact and difficult to break down because that's what Simeone does the best.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

But in the end, too many options for them and they took them very well.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

Orange, I would say, because the first moment when I saw it, I thought it was a red carpet.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

It's really aggressive, the way that he goes to the tackle.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

If you see it on a slow motion, it doesn't look that bad.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

But I think it's an interpretation of the referee.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

He was very close.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

He saw the intention of...

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

Valverde of not going to the ball, he's trying to explain to Arbeloa, he's trying to explain to Vinicius Junior.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

The referee's been trying to be vocal about it because he was very close and he saw it straight away.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

The aggressiveness, the way that he goes on the tackle by Valverde is reckless and that's something that you can expect if the interpretation of the referee is that he was too aggressive.

ESPN FC
Madrid's Derby Win and Arsenal's Embarrassing Cup Loss

It's a red card for me.

ESPN FC

A yellow, it was maybe too short.
