Brahim Díaz’s deciding goal earned Real Madrid a 2-1 win against city-mate Atlético Madrid on Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash, strengthening their dominance against each other in the Champions League.
Atlético Madrid’s defeat against their city rivals in UEFA competitions continues after winning just three games in their last 11 games.
The defeat against Real Madrid includes the one in both finals of the 2014 and 2016 Champions Leagues, including their elimination by Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of 2015 and their 2017 semi-finals.
Brahim Díaz scored the goal that sealed Madrid’s win in the 63rd minute of the match in a tough clash played at the Santiago Bernabéu after beating two of Atlético Madrid’s defenders before he fired a low shot into the far corner.
In other news, Arsenal did the unthinkable as they edged towards the quarterfinals with an amazing 7-1 victory against PSV Eindhoven.
