The striker had a great match and hit his former team twice; The Italian was not right in any decision.
In recent years, Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid have been immune to the challenges that big matches bring. It is a team that is not afraid of big events, mainly because the coach does not allow it. Ancelotti has his system, his players and his philosophy. There are adjustments (there have to be), but no rival has made drastic changes.
But Ancelotti had one of his worst days as Madrid coach and opted for a worrying tactical system against Atleti. The problems were clear from the start, with Morata scoring the first as soon as the derby started. Griezmann struck again quickly, again with a header, and Morata scored his double in the second half and with the same formula: cross from the left and header to beat Kepa. Madrid’s only goal came from a shot from outside the penalty area by Toni Kroos in the first half.
The changes ultimately came late, with Ancelotti abandoning his new system in favor of the 4-4-2 diamond that had given Madrid a perfect start to the season. But their mistakes had already done their damage, with Madrid falling in the derby at the speed of a tactical and defensive nightmare.
