aTletico Madrid is full of joy and celebration. Cholo Simeone’s team hit Real Madrid from five goals to two at Metropolitano, along with Real Madrid’s unbeaten run at Lariga and a perfect start.
With Julian Alvarez’s epic brace, the Argentinian shines as a star in the match, scoring five goals in the last two games. Corconeros’ 5-2 victory sets a precedent for thrashing in the Madrid derby and it’s time to look back at the team’s final thrashing.

Atletico Madrid’s biggest victory over Real Madrid
Throughout history where both teams are plentiful, Atletico Madrid’s biggest victory over Real Madrid was four goals.
The first thrashing was in 1950 when Atletico hit 5-1 at home. The goals of the day were scored by Junkosa, Musica and Escudero. The next thrashing took place in 1987 at the Santiago Bernabeu. There, Corconeros won 4-0 with goals from Giulio Salinas, Footre and Lopes Ufalte. In 2015, Atletico won 4-0 against Real Madrid at Estadio Vicente Calderon with goals from Tiago, Saul, Griezmann and Mandozkic.
Julian Alvarez is on the rise
A week ago, the atmosphere at Atletico Madrid was one of the distrust, doubts and criticisms of their players. Choro was the main target for the season and, above all, a poor start, by stripping Julian Alvarez at key moments.
This criticism faded away with Alvarez’s hat-trick against Laio Valecano and his writings against Argentina’s Real Madrid, particularly today. Simeone played Julian for 90 minutes and responded with the show’s stars Thrashing and Star. Alvarez has integrated his position in the team, and for now Choro can breathe a little easier.
