The Madrid Derby Review

On this week’s podcast, Robbie Dunne and Jamie Kemp discuss what Diego Simeone called a ‘weird game’ – we can only be talking about the Madrid derby.

Real Madrid dominated for the opening 30 minutes and took the lead but were too passive in finishing off the game. Our duo focu their attention on Brahim Diaz’s influence on the game, Simeone’s muddled tactics and what caused them and Atlético’s midfield selection.

They also discuss three stats from La Liga that caught their eye this weekend including:

Aleix Garcia’s lowest touch total of the season against Real Sociedad.
Athletic Bilbao’s incredible home form as they prepare for the Copa del Rey semi-final showdown against Atlético Madrid.
And Samu Omorodion becoming the youngest player this century to score home and away against Barcelona in a La Liga campaign.
