The latest chapter of the Madrid derby didn’t provide goals or a winner, but it did provide one shocking moment.
The two met in La Liga play on Saturday, and the match finished 0-0. In the contest, Atleti’s Angel Correa, with play dead, kicked the ball right at the head of Karim Benzema, who was down on the ground. It was a dirty place, and the Madrid players obviously didn’t take kindly to it.
That was so intentional. Out of frustration, he could have kicked it anywhere. But right at Benz
He somehow escaped a yellow card as well. Shocking officiating.
