Atletico Madrid 4-2 Real Madrid: Antoine Griezmann scores stunning 100th-minute solo strike before Rodrigo Riquelme seals Copa Del Rey win for Atleti over arch-rivals in heated Madrid derby clash

Antoine Griezmann scored a brilliant 100th minute winner to settle a raucous, anarchic six-goal Madrid-derby cup last-16 game that started on Thursday night and finished just inside Friday morning.

It rained goals; it rained yellow cards, and the man who was honoured before the game for having already become Atletico’s all-time top scorer made the most decisive contribution.

Griezmann had had a relatively quiet night, but in the first half of extra time with all around him running out of gas, he accelerated down the right away from Vinicius, who was chasing back desperately trying to make amends having given the ball away, and rifled the ball into the roof of Andriy Lunin’s net.

It was the goal that knocked Real Madrid out of the cup, and served up a hard-fought revenge for Atletico who had been beaten 5-3 by them in the Spanish Super Cup just five days before.

Real Madrid had the better of the first phase of the marathon slugging match and when Bellingham led Atletico Madrid’s defence a merry dance weaving around Axel Witsel and Rodrigo de Paul his shot hit the crossbar.

Despite Madrid being on top it was Atletico who took the lead five minutes before the break when Rodrigo de Paul’s cross struck Griezmann on the head making Antonio Rudiger’s clearance more difficult. He could only clear it to Samu Lino who scored past Lunin at the back post.

The lead did not last until the break because right on half time Luka Modric crossed into the area. Saul, Mario Hermoso and Rudiger all jumped together and Oblak, coming in behind them, sliced his punch straight into his own net.

Vinicius celebrated in front of the Atletico supporters, he had already been booked for complaining to the referee Guillermo Cuadra Fernandez about a second ball being thrown on to the pitch by a ball-boy as Real Madrid tried to take a quick throw.

As is always the case when such close rivals are drawn to play each other several times in quick succession the familiarity breeds no end of contempt. Tempers were running high and Bellingham was furious just before Vinicius’ yellow when Lino tried to get him booked. 

Bellingham’s arm brushed the Atletico wing-back’s face but he went down as if he had been punched and Bellingham ran to him and hauled him up.

Bellingham started the second half as he had started the first drifting past three Atletico players inside the home team’s area. This time he crossed into the six-yard box but there was no one to finish.

In seven single-leg cup ties against Real Madrid in the Simeone era all of them had gone to extra time and this already looked like going the same way. Alvaro Morata had other ideas, however, and on 58 minutes he put Atletico back in front.

Marcos Llorente’s pass was diverted goalwards by Eduardo Camavinga. Lunin came out but not to smother the loose ball. Instead he tried to push it out back into play and his clearance hit the onrushing Rudiger and rolled to Morata who nudged it over the line for his 18th goal of the season in all competitions.

The fuse was lit once more for another heated spell in which substitute Brahim Diaz was booked for retaliating at Hermoso who was also cautioned for having fouled him.

In all the excitement Vinicius was now playing two games – one with the ball and another with the Atletico players and supporters. Hermoso whispered something in his ear. He also earned a long disapproving stare from Ancelotti after an unnecessary flick.

Meanwhile the ball-boys and girls were at it again. Some perceived time wasting prompted the referee to talk to the home team’s bench.

With 15 minutes left Rodrygo hit the bar as Madrid edged closer to another equalizer.

The tactical fouls were now coming fast and furious and so were the cards. Koke was cautioned for a push that gave Real Madrid a free-kick on the edge of the area that substitute Toni Kroos could not make the most of.

Joselu was also on and he leveled for Real Madrid with seven minutes left. Vinicius played it to Bellingham’s whose cross to the big centre-forward was perfect. Joselu launched himself at it to power it past Oblak and make it 2-2.

Simeone was booked for complaining about the exuberance of Vinicius’ celebration and he went after the Brazilian on the final whistle to further make his point.

The referee finished the 90 minutes with 12 bookings and for a tired lunge at Jose Gimenez, Bellingham’s name had been added to that list. Griezmann scored the first goal of the added half hour. 

There was still time for a couple more cards and for Bellingham to draw a point-blank save from Oblak, and set-up Dani Ceballos whose goal was ruled out for offside. 

When Rodrigo Riquelme swept in Atletico’s fourth Simeone charged down the touchline to embrace his fitness coach.

Atletico Madrid were safely in Friday’s quarter-final draw; Real Madrid can now not win everything this season; and there’s another Madrid derby in the league next month.
