Mourinho returns with a printout

José Mourinho walked into the post-match press conference 13 years after his last Madrid derby and held up a printed A4 sheet with two screen grabs of tackles he believed should have been red cards.

“"We can save ourselves the bother of the press conference, because the story is right here."”

Atlético wins the derby 2-1

Atlético Madrid defeated Real Madrid 2-1 in front of 70,514 fans at the Metropolitano stadium on Sunday afternoon, with Giuliano Simeone forcing a penalty that led to Dean Huijsen's red card.

Two tackles Mourinho wanted red

Mourinho claimed Cuti Romero's studs caught Jude Bellingham's knee and Kang-in Lee fouled Fede Valverde's ankle, both deserving red cards. He said Madrid should have faced nine men against 11, not 11 against 10.

Huijsen's red changed everything

Early in the second half, Dean Huijsen dragged Giuliano Simeone down in the penalty area, earning a red card and giving Atlético the lead from the spot. Mourinho said this moment decided the match.

Mourinho blames the referee

Mourinho spent the press conference attacking referee decisions, claiming the 41-year-old official couldn't handle the pressure. He referenced 13 errors from a referee 16 years earlier, reviving his famous complaint style.

Hints of setup and conspiracy

Mourinho suggested the league might be set up for others to win, saying he expected to find a different league than the one he left but was told otherwise. He insisted he didn't want to think ill of officials.

“"I thought I would come back to find a different league to the one I left, but [at Madrid] they told me not and explained why not."”

Madrid played poorly overall

Beyond the refereeing complaints, Madrid offered little football. Their first shot on target came at 39 minutes from 25 yards, and they created barely anything after Huijsen's red card.

Atlético controlled the match

Atlético took more than twice as many shots and had two-thirds of possession, overloading Madrid's left side. They exercised control throughout while Madrid relied on waiting and countering.

Madrid's deeper problems remain

Madrid's flaws are familiar and unaddressed after two years. They needed last-minute goals to beat Espanyol and Elche and sit six points behind Barcelona already, just seven weeks into the season.

Barcelona's lead is historic

Barcelona's six-point lead at the top is the biggest any team has held at this stage since Fabio Capello's 2006-07 title win, the only time Barcelona lost such a lead. Hansi Flick's team are flying.

Madrid can't be trusted to capitalize

Even if Barcelona slip up, Madrid look unlikely to take advantage. Claude Makélélé summed them up simply: nothing, nothing, nothing.

“"Nothing, nothing, nothing."”

Giuliano Simeone's full circle moment

Thirteen years ago, young Giuliano watched the derby from home because he was too small to attend. Now 23, he plays for Atlético and decided this derby, forcing the penalty and setting up the second goal.

Father and son celebrate together

There's footage of young Giuliano as a ballboy leaping into his father's arms when Atlético scored years ago. On this derby day, Diego Simeone sprinted up the line toward his son after another goal.

Raphinha dominates for Barcelona

Barcelona beat Sevilla 3-1 with Raphinha scoring a hat-trick from centre forward. He has 12 league goals in seven games plus two in the Champions League, five ahead of anyone else.

“"We give him the ball, he scores the goals."”

Barcelona's perfect start continues

Barcelona won their seventh straight league match and eighth in all competitions, scoring 31 goals already. Raphinha leads the way with his intensity and finishing, though he says Lamine Yamal should win the Ballon d'Or.

Sivera finally saves a penalty

Alavés goalkeeper Antonio Sivera, a European champion at under-21 level, saved his first penalty ever in a 0-0 draw with Athletic Bilbao at age 30, calling his previous record ridiculous.

“"At last, at last!"”

Budimir reaches 100 goals in Spain

Ante Budimir scored his 100th goal in Spain with a chest-and-volley for Osasuna, reflecting on his journey from Croatia where Spain was bottom of his list of top five leagues.

“"When I played football as a kid in Croatia, everyone wants to play in one of Europe's top five leagues and on my list Spain was bottom, but in the end it seems like Osasuna and La Liga is my place."”
