Atleti are no underdogs anymore, they are a team in the level of real and barca, but that doest mean we can't beat them or that they are better, u may refer that they are better "at the moment" like barca in 2015 Madrid and barca are in an unstable position, barca need enrique to just set on one formation and make the team practice on it, Madrid lack a player who was able to control the midfield like a boss, Luka Modric.
Lula Modric is an important key for big games, without him our counter attacks aren't efficient against teams like atleti, so in the next match, Luka may not play but we need benzema and bale back on form.
Ronaldo is starting to be a threat against atleti, his 25 mins were better than bales entire game, even in the previous match ronaldo played amazing against atleti however he played in the right wing and ended in crossing, and not being the one at the end of the cross.
Marcus please don't judge from 2 people and say that all Madrid fans don't accept their loss, you see this is what fights come from, quick judging, when u quick judge from a single person act, a third party will most likely interfere.
Nevertheless atleti were the better team and I hope we win in the second leg 2-0 or 4-1( if we score first)
Tomorrow is Copa Del Rey first leg at Vicente Calderon, one of my favourite fixtures after the Clasico.
Very hard to give a prediction but 0-0 is a good score for Atleti is they close the game, they wont play Mandzukic though since he isnt the explosive counters player, so imo both will try to have possession with amazing ball holders in each side ( Koke-Turan-Griezmann / Isco-James-Modric-Kroos ), i feel Atleti wont loose in their ground.
My prediction : 2-1 in Calderon for Atleti, Real Madrid to qualify in Bernabeu.
