Julian Alvarez's Panenka penalty was the decider in the first half of the Madrid derby. The spot-kick was awarded after Tchouameni's challenge on Lino was reviewed by VAR with ten minutes to go before the break. But 'Los Blancos' quickly restored the stalemate as Mbappe found the equaliser in the 50th minute. The two sides fought until the death for the goal that would put them in front but in the end, the spoils were shared at the Bernabeu. As a result, Real Madrid maintain their one-point lead on Atletico at the top of the Liga standings.
