Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 61654, member: 636"] Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid 5-2 at Estadio Metropolitano, ending the visitors' perfect seven-match start to the 2025-26 season. Robin Le Normand opened the scoring for the hosts before Kylian Mbappe and Arda Guler responded with goals that gave Real Madrid a brief advantage. Alexander Sorloth equalized for Atletico just before halftime with a well-placed header. The second half belonged entirely to Diego Simeone's squad. Julian Alvarez converted a penalty after Guler committed a foul, then added a free-kick goal to extend the lead. Antoine Griezmann completed the rout with a late strike. Real Madrid maintains its position at the top of La Liga despite the setback, although Barcelona could overtake it depending on the outcome of the upcoming results. [/QUOTE]
