Real Madrid looked set to win the derby thanks to an Eder Militao strike, but Angel Correa scored late in the match to force a 1-1 draw and snatch a late point for Los Rojiblancos.
The last three Madrid derbies ended in a draw in regular time, and this instalment, set at the Wanda Metropolitano, had the same outcome with the hosts leaving it late to take a point.

key match details
The match began cautiously, with both teams probing each other's defences. Julian Alvarez got the first chance of the game, shrugging off Antonio Rüdiger before testing Thibaut Courtois from a tight angle.
Real Madrid soon settled into the game and began to generate danger of their own. Federico Valverde let fly around the 17th minute, but Oblak was on hand to parry away.
Oblak was on hand again to deny Jude Bellingham's effort, as Real Madrid’s period of sustained dominance continued.
Seeing that his team had lost control, Diego Simeone made tactical tweaks, but Los Blancos only got stronger. The goal eventually came in the 61st minute, thanks to a well-worked set-piece routine.
Lika Modric floated the ball to Vinicius, who beat his man before crossing into the box. The delivery evaded the bodies clogged at the centre of the 18-yard area and landed on Militao’s path. The former Porto man riffled the ball home to hand Real Madrid the lead.
The goal sparked chaos in the stands, prompting referee Mateo Busquets to temporarily halt play due to projectiles raining down on Courtois' goalmouth. Following the restart, Real Madrid continued their dominance but did not add to their advantage.
Despite failing to generate chances for much of the encounter, Atletico Madrid shocked their visitors when Angel Correa latched onto Javi Galan's through-ball, rounded Courtois, and finished expertly.
