Incidencias
Partido disputado en el Santiago Bernabéu.
Boys from Brazil, Vinicus Junior and Rodrygo Goes, got the goals for Zinedine Zidane’s side, who have 14 points from six matches, one ahead of Atletico.
Gareth Bale was rested from the squad entirely, while Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois and others were put on the bench to keep them fresh for the clash at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Vinicius sent Madrid ahead with a curling effort which deflected into the top corner.
Luka Jovic missed two good chances and then saw a goal ruled out for offside as he hunted for his first since coming to Madrid.
Eventually substitute Rodrygo tucked in the second, the 18-year-old barely on for his debut as a substitute.
