Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has praised the performance of his city rivals Real Madrid in their 2-1 win over his side on Sunday, and cheekily compared their style to an Atletico team of the past.
Real Madrid made it six wins from six in LaLiga after goals from Rodrygo and Federico Valverde saw Carlo Ancelotti's side win a fiery derby at the Metropolitano Stadium.
The home side finished the game with ten men after goal-scorer Mario Hermoso was shown red in stoppage time, after receiving two yellow cards in the space of the final two minutes of the game.
