The duo settled an entertaining battle at the Rojiblancos’ Metropolitano stadium, the second of three Madrid derbies in under a month.
Los Blancos twice pegged back Atletico to take the game to extra-time, with Jan Oblak’s own goal cancelling out Samuel Lino’s opener, and Joselu netting late on after Alvaro Morata had put the hosts in front again.
In extra-time Griezmann broke down the right and finished with aplomb with Riquelme striking at the death to settle the game and avenge Atletico’s defeat by Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final last week.
Real Madrid romped to a 5-3 win over Diego Simeone’s side before thrashing rivals Barcelona to win the trophy.
The Argentine coach said this match would be a new opportunity for his team, and so it proved, the match flowing end-to-end, albeit without the total abandon proffered by both sides in Saudi Arabia.
Real Madrid threatened first with Jude Bellingham hitting the crossbar, before Atletico took the lead.
Antonio Rudiger, who struck against Atletico in Riyadh, tried to head a cross to safety but ended up nodding it into the path of Lino, who finished from close range.
However Madrid levelled before the break when Luka Modric’s crossed free-kick drew Oblak out of his goal.
The Slovenian, leaping to reach the ball but unable to grab it, ended up getting the final touch as it span into his own net.
The home fans were jubilant early in the second half when Morata sent Atletico back ahead, after Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin failed to gather the ball, and it fell into the striker’s path.
It was Morata’s 18th goal of an impressive campaign to date, across all competitions.
Real Madrid hit the woodwork a second time through Rodrygo and Lunin denied Morata from point-blank range before Joselu equalised with 10 minutes to go.
After Vinicius slipped in Bellingham, the England international cleverly sliced the ball across for the target man to nod home and send the match to extra-time.

2027 Power Struggle: Nwebonyi Rubbishes Rumors Of Single-Term Zoning For Ebonyi North.
Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi, the Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate, has rejected assertions that he is breaching a zoning agreement that would supposedly limit Ebonyi North senators to one term. Addressing claims from his APGA challenger, Chief Chikadoli Ojimba, who recently called for him to step down, Senator Nwebonyi stated there is no constitutional or political mandate requiring him to abandon his 2027 reelection bid.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking to the press in Abakaliki on Sunday, the Senator pointed to the precedent set by former Governor Sam Egwu, who successfully served two terms in the Senate, to argue that the alleged one-term policy lacks binding authority. Highlighting his own constituency initiatives and record, Nwebonyi stated he faces no serious competition for his seat and emphasized that public service should be defined by sacrifice rather than personal gain.
Additionally, the Senator expressed strong support for the APC’s prospects in Ebonyi State and lauded President Bola Tinubu for prioritizing infrastructure development in the South-East. He further praised Governor Francis Nwifuru as a unifying leader, dismissing rumors of friction within the Izzi clan and calling on stakeholders to prioritize the state’s collective development over divisive politics.

On Sunday, May 31, 2026, thousands of Arsenal fans flooded the streets of north London to celebrate the club’s first Premier League title since 2004, successfully shifting the focus from their Champions League final loss the previous day. Adorned in red and white, supporters lined the route through Islington, waving flags and lighting flares as an open-top bus parade moved through the area.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The festivities, which began after 2 p.m. at the Emirates Stadium, wound through Highbury, Canonbury, and Upper Street before concluding back at the stadium. This parade honored a league victory confirmed on May 19, ending a 22-year championship drought. During the event, fans were seen climbing trees and rooftops to see Mikel Arteta’s squad as the players showcased the Premier League trophy. The procession included four buses, one of which carried the Arsenal Women’s team, winners of the inaugural Women’s Champions Cup this past February.
This celebration followed a heartbreaking 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest on Saturday, where Arsenal ultimately fell in a penalty shootout after misses by Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Magalhaes. Despite the European defeat, the Premier League title held immense significance for the team, coming after three consecutive seasons as runners-up. Reflecting on the massive turnout, journalist Matt Graveling described the celebration as the largest sporting event he had witnessed in his 15-year career.
