Diego Simeone, the manager of Atletico Madrid, has spoken on why Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham was ineffective during their La Liga matchup on Sunday.
Real Madrid was trounced 3-1 by Simeone’s team at the Metropolitano Stadium as Bellingham, who has been brilliant for Los Blancos so far this season, was unable to earn a point for Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
Atletico Madrid overcame Real Madrid thanks to a goal from Antoine Griezmann and two goals from Alvaro Morata.
During the game, Toni Kroos did score a goal against the home team.
Simeone discussed Bellingham’s performance in the post-game press conference.
According to him, Jude Bellingham frequently makes use of Joselu’s aerial prowess (through Madrid Zone). Joselu’s absence caused him to have fewer slots.
Real Madrid is now in third place, behind leaders Barcelona and second-placed Girona, as a result of the victory over Atletico Madrid.
