Diaz earns Real Madrid lead on Atletico in Champions League derby clash
MADRID: Real Madrid claimed a small edge on city rivals Atletico Madrid with a tight 2-1 Champions League last 16 first-leg win on Tuesday. Julian Alvarez levelled for Atletico after Rodrygo Goes sent the hosts ahead, but Brahim Diaz stroked home the winner for the record 15-time winners to delight the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

Rodrygo wanted a penalty when Galan appeared to hold him back in the area but his appeals were waved away. His compatriot Vinicius came close to netting Madrid’s second as he surged into the box but Jose Gimenez blocked his shot well. Atletico began to create danger of their own and Valverde hacked away Giuliano Simeone’s whipped ball from under his own crossbar under pressure from Samuel Lino. Alvare
Champions League: Real Madrid's 'Fantastic Four' Face Atletico Madrid Test
Real Madrid's galaxy of attacking stars initially struggled to gel this season, but coach Carlo Ancelotti kept faith and now the "fantastic four" are Los Blancos' greatest strength as they face rivals Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. They host Diego Simeone's Atletico side on Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabeu in the last 16 first leg, with the return at the Metropolitano stadium across town on March 12. French superstar Kylian Mbappe joined last season's trident of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes and both the former Paris Saint-Germain striker and Madrid's squad needed time to adapt to the change.
