#2 It was a derby to remember
Far too often, the modern game has developed into a game of chess that is fuelled by tactics and a growing influence of technology. But, the Madrid derby was a throwback to how it was, just a few decades ago. It was a game that saw raw emotion take center stage. With tackles flying in left, right and center, it was a game that saw plenty of incidents, including one that saw Atlético's assistant manager Germán Burgos being sent off and still continuing to confront the referee, before needing five men to pull him away. It was a “blood and thunder” derby day in which neither side wanted to give an inch and the pride that comes with winning a derby was at the forefront of all the players’ minds. It certainly was one of the most engaging, enthralling and entertaining derbies in a very long time.
