In the Spanish championship, the Madrid derby presented a result that even the most passionate "Atletico" fans could not have expected. "Atletico" humiliated the leader of Madrid, "Real", with a score of 4:0 on their home turf and continued the fight for the trophy.
For the defending champion team "Atletico", this was the first such victory against "Real" since 1987. For the "Real" team, it was the biggest defeat since 2010, when the team lost 0:5 to "Barcelona".
Cristiano Ronaldo, who again won the "Ballon d'Or", did not help the injury-ridden "Real" team, as other stars also failed to shine.
"From start to finish, we played terribly. Nothing worked. It's a day to forget," said C. Ronaldo. "Real" cannot lose to any team by such a result."
"Real" played without their regular starting players James Rodriguez, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Luka Modric, and Marcelo.
"Atletico" outplayed us everywhere. We didn't have a single player who performed well. These were the worst team matches since I took over the team," said "Real" coach Carlo Ancelotti.
