To give a red card or not give a red card, that is the question. Real Madrid were infuriated by the red cards not brandished, but beaten by the one that was, as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against city rivals Atlético Madrid. Join Ben Sully (@SullyBen) & Nick Bell (@nickbellofbpl) as they discuss the fallout from the Madrid derby and the rest of the action from matchday 7, the last round of LaLiga fixtures for three weeks. Raphinha continued his incredible form with a perfect hat-trick in an away win against Sevilla, which, in turn, helped Barcelona maintain perfection at the top of the table. There was late heartbreak for Valencia at Mestalla, a stunning victory for 10-man Elche and another precious win for Villarreal boss Iñigo Pérez. Dépor, meanwhile, were the only promoted team to take something from matchday seven. Racing’s defensive woes continued in a heavy defeat to Celta Vigo, while Málaga’s goalscoring struggles continued in a narrow loss to Getafe.Elsewhere, Alavés goalkeeper Antonio Sivera ensured there were no goals at San Mamés, while Ante Budimir netted a milestone strike at El Sadar. The three-week international break may now be upon us, but we will still be putting out content over at LLLonline.substack.com.  Hosted on Acast.
