MBAPPE EQUALISER KEEPS MADRID TOP OF LA LIGA

Kylian Mbappe’s second-half equaliser kept Real Madrid at the top of La Liga after the Frenchman rescued a 1-1 draw against city rivals Atletico Madrid.
An even first-half burst into controversy after 34 minutes when Aurelien Tchouameni caught the foot of Samuel Lino as both players missed a cross into the box.
Referee Cesar Soto Grado initially waved play on before being called back to the VAR monitor and awarding a penalty.
Julian Alvarez kept calm and exquisitely executed a cheeky panenka to open the scoring.
Real Madrid were relentless in the second half and forced Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak into a host of smart saves.
Eventually, Carlo Ancelotti’s side found an equaliser when Jude Bellingham’s effort was saved into the path of Mbappe to score.
Moments later, Bellingham had the opportunity to win the derby, but crashed his header off the crossbar.
Real Madrid travel to Manchester City in midweek for the first game of the knockout phase, and then return to La Liga action against Osasuna next weekend.
