Real Madrid are trailing two to zero at the Metropolitano Stadium against Atlético Madrid in La Liga matchweek 7. Defender Dean Huijsen was sent off following a VAR review for a foul on Giuliano Simeone inside the penalty area. Alejandro Grimaldo converted the resulting penalty in the 51st minute, and Jonathan David doubled the lead six minutes later. The absence of the injured Antonio Rüdiger had already weakened Madrid’s backline before kickoff. This potential defeat raises questions about Real Madrid’s defensive consistency early in the La Liga season.
