(Real Madrid-Atlético Madrid 2-0) Real Madrid first beat Sevilla, then qualified for the Champions League, and ended the dream week by winning the derby in the capital.
Atlético de Madrid thus suffered their first defeat in La Liga this season.
Real Madrid have had a good grip on the city rivals lately: this is the fifth straight game without a win for Atlético de Madrid.
It was an important victory for Real Madrid. If he had lost, it would have been nine points for Atlético de Madrid, and one more game played. Now all of a sudden it only differs on three points. Atlético de Madrid had 26 league games in a row without losing.
There was talk last week that Zinedine Zidane was sitting loosely in the saddle, but the three wins from the last week will likely change that. Real Madrid have not conceded a single goal in these three games and have scored a total of five against Sevilla, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Atlético de Madrid.
