Atletico Madrid 2-0 Real Madrid: 5 talking points

#2 Real lack cutting edge

Back-to-back losses against Valencia and Atletico Madrid in the League and the Cup means that Real are still without a win this year. While that isn't something that the fans should be particularly worried about, one thing that must certainly worry about the supporters and Carlo Ancelotti is their inability to create chances.

Apart from Sergio Ramos' header in the first minute, the visitors simply didn't create enough chances and far too often found it difficult to find the right ball in the attacking third. While one goal in two games isn't particularly a bad return, when you consider the fact that they averaged almost four goals per game during their 22-game winning run and 3 goals per game this season, that is certainly something to look at.
