This Sunday (29), Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid drew 1-1 in the classic played at the Wanda Metropolitano, valid for the 8th round of LaLiga. With assistance from Vinícius Júnior for Militão, Real were ahead on the scoreboard for a good part of the match, but conceded the draw in second-half stoppage time. The game was also marked by a 20-minute stoppage due to objects thrown onto the field by Atlético fans.

Without Mbappé, Real Madrid invested even more in Vinícius Júnior, who had a standout performance for the left side. In the first half, the former Flamengo proved to be the team's main offensive weapon, creating good opportunities, such as in the 35th minute , when he dribbled past De Paul and crossed to Bellingham, who finished dangerously. However, it was in the second half that Vini Júnior was decisive in scoring the goal.


In an individual play, Vini received a pass on the left and, once again surpassing De Paul, made a precise cross with his left leg. The ball found Militão at the other end of the area, who dominated and shot hard with his right leg, opening the scoring for Real Madrid.

Paralysis and Equalizing Goal

After the goal of Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid fans began to throw objects towards goalkeeper Courtois, including lighters, which resulted in the match being interrupted. The players went to the locker rooms, and there was an announcement that the game could be suspended. After 20 minutes, the confrontation was restarted.


In the first move after the stoppage, Vinícius Júnior, in another moment of brilliance, turned on Giménez's marking and finished with his left leg, forcing Oblak to make a great defense. The striker was substituted in the 40th minute of the second half, giving way to Endrick.

Real Madrid's victory seemed certain, but, with five minutes remaining, Ángel Romero received a ball behind the defense, won the physical contest and shared with Courtois to score the equalizer, ensuring the final score 1-1.

The "marriage" between Tite and Flamengo officially came to an end this Monday (30), with the announcement of the coach's resignation. Thus, the coach ends his time at Rubro-Negro after 70 games, with a 64.7% success rate, in addition to having won a state title and suffered a disappointing elimination in the Libertadores da América.

Elimination in the Libertadores

Three-time champion of the Libertadores, Flamengo entered the 2024 edition as one of the favorites and top seed in Group E. However, the performance of the team in the group stage fell below expectations, resulting in a second-place finish. In the round of 16, Flamengo beat Bolívar (BOL) 2-1 on aggregate, but was eliminated in the quarter-finals after being defeated by Peñarol (URU) without managing to score a goal.

< br> Departure of the Technical Committee

In addition to Tite, the entire technical committee is also leaving Flamengo. Among the professionals leaving the club are assistants Cleber Xavier, Matheus Bachi, César Sampaio and Vinícius Bergantin, physical trainer Fábio Mahseredjian and performance analyst Lucas Oliveira.
