Atletico Humilate Ronaldo and Others, as Madrid Fans Boo Stars Out of the Bernabeu
- Updated: September 14, 2014
Carlo Ancelotti’s early season crisis at Real Madrid intensified as the European Cup holders were beaten 2-1 by Atletico Madrid leaving them six points behind leaders Barcelona having lost two of their opening three games of the season.
They were booed and whistled off the pitch at the end of the game after a tame second half where they showed an alarming lack of spirit and imagination against a dogged Atletico Madrid side.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 13th goal against Atletico Madrid but Gareth Bale looked lost in Real’s new 4-4-2 formation and was a taken off midway through the second half.
Arda Turan finishes in the bottom-left corner to gift Atletico Madrid the 2-1 win over their fierce rivals Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on Saturday night.
Former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez made his debut in the second half, but failed to bring his new team the three points and Ancelotti will now be under pressure to knock his 500million euro squad into shape ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League opener against Basle.
Elsewhere in La Liga, Neymar came off the bench to score twice as Barcelona defeated a stubborn Athletic Bilbao to maintain their 100% start to the season.
The Brazilian, making his second Barca appearance since injuring his back at the World Cup, came on in the 63rd minute for a struggling home side.
He quickly made his presence felt with a neat finish following Lionel Messi’s pass to break Bilbao’s resistance.
And he sealed the win with a close-range finish from another Messi assist.
The goals were the 22-year-old’s first since 26 March, when he scored twice in a 3-0 home win over Celta Vigo, and mean Barca have now won all three of their opening games this campaign.
