REAL’S ANCELOTTI DISAPPOINTED WITH 1-1 DERBY DRAW AT ATLETICO – Real are second in the standings on 18 points, three behind Barca

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was disappointed that his side allowed the hosts Atletico Madrid to snatch a 1-1 draw with a goal deep into added time in their LaLiga clash on Sunday.  He said Real deserved better luck after dominating most of the game but was glad his side were able to come away with at least a point from a stadium where they lost twice last season. 

Ancelotti told reporters. “It is hard to cope with a draw in which we were very close to winning,” 

Real are second in the standings on 18 points, three behind Barca and two ahead of Atletico in third after eight games.

Real opened the scoring in the 64th minute with a close-range strike by defender Eder Militao but the match was suspended for just over 20 minutes after home fans hurled objects onto the pitch as the visitors celebrated.
