From 30 for 30 podcasts. Brian Pata, senior defensive lineman from Miami, gunned down. The key to this case, it's Brian. An hour before he died, he was on the phone arguing with somebody. This might be a hit. You want the truth. They just want a conviction. Being placed under arrest. We had a killer amongst us. Murder at the U. Listen now.
Welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC. I'm Dan Thomas, joined by Craig Burley and Stevie Nicholl. We'll be talking Carabao Cup a little bit later on, but we'll kick things off in La Liga. Real Madrid taking on Atletico Madrid, and what a match it turned out to be. Atleti would have the lead going into the half because Lukman would score after 33 minutes to give the visitors the advantage. Vinicius Junior, though, would then pounce with a penalty. Valverde, four minutes later... making it 2-1. Molina would score an absolute belter to make it 2-2. Soon after that, though, Vini would get the third to give Real Madrid the victory. Valverde controversially sent off late on, but in the end, Real Madrid get the win to keep themselves very much on the coattails of Barcelona.
For more on this, let's welcome in Joey Luis Garcia at the Santiago Bernabeu. Luis, in the end, a thoroughly entertaining game.
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.
What were the highlights of Real Madrid's derby win over Atletico Madrid?
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.
Different team second half, wasn't it? Well, yeah, a different team, but aided and abetted by an Atleti side who came out after half-time and gifted two opportunities. The Hanko challenge was needless, so that's the first one. Vinicius scores the penalty. And then there's a really bad back pass into Fedor Valverde, who takes advantage of it. You've still got to take advantage of it. He did. But Stevie mentioned he got the lock. The Jimenez challenge is weak in the box. Now, I know it's a tricky situation when players are running at you, you don't want to give a penalty away, but it's not a particularly strong challenge. And again, Paddy Valverde takes advantage of it. So from a good position, all of a sudden, a couple of mistakes, you're 2-1 down.
Now you're chasing your tail. Yeah, you get back in the game with a great goal from Molina. But again, you don't shut down the key men in key areas, which they didn't. So they've made three mistakes at the back. Atleti, and got punished for it. You know, the penalty, the back pass, and then when Alexander-Arnold comes forward, as Stevie said in the highlights, there's no real pressure on Vinicius Junior, and he bags it. This starts it all. There's no absolute need to throw yourself in there. It makes no sense to commit to anything. Just get your body in the way. So what do we say at half-time? You want a response from... Real Madrid, he has the pass. Straight into Valverde, he spots it.
