The central match of the seventh round of the Spanish championship took place in Madrid in front of live fans. Atletico Madrid, under Diego Simeone, defeated their main rivals, Real Madrid, 5-2 at home, securing an unforgettable victory for their fans.
This defeat was the creamers' first loss of the season under Xabi Alonso. Because the Madrid side had won six consecutive matches.
A serious problem arose for Real Madrid in the second half of the match. Team captain and defensive line leader Dani Carvajal left the match prematurely due to injury. According to The Athletic, the 33-year-old footballer is undergoing a thorough medical examination and is currently suspected of having a serious injury to his right leg.
This became a new headache for Xabi Alonso. Previously, it was reported that another right-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold, had also been sidelined due to injury.
As a result, Real Madrid currently has no natural right-back. Officials say that one of the most versatile players, Federico Valverde, is expected to play in this position until he recovers from injury.
Fans are curious about how the defense will take shape in the team's upcoming matches and when Carvajal and Trent will return to the squad.
