With a place in the semifinals at stake, we've got the Madrid derby and given recent controversy involving Atleti ultras and Vinicius, it's going to be hot.

There is a definite intensity in this match and the pace of play is high. Madrid are attempting to tighten their grip, but for the moment it's a case of nothing doing. In a play that looked very similar to the one that gave them a goal, a lobbed pass was played over the defense - to the left this time - where Lemar instead of Nahuel was waiting. Madrid appear to have more purpose now and are not simply playing the ball left-to-right in front of a dogged defense. The Brazilian uses a deft piece of skill that leaves Nahuel reflecting on his life decisions, but it's to no avail, the ball is clear and Atleti break. Madrid work the ball to the left where Vincius Jr. The Dutchman gets off a shot but Cortois is able to palm it out for a corner. IT was a well-worked play, but there was an element of luck to it as the low cross across the box was inadvertently deflected by Vinicius' miskick, into the path of the waiting Benzema. Asensio gets in on the act, but his cross is blocked and Oblak will attempt to calm things down. Down the right they go and as luck would have it, they now have a corner. By now you've probably seen the ugly scenes that were witness prior to kickoff, with some of Atleti's fans hanging a caricature of the player from a bridge in the city. Sadly, what looked to be the makings of a historic win for the visitors, began to unravel in the second half.

— But there are no listed carriers in Canada. The UK But the coverage of the competition is not as widespread globally as league play from Spain with La Liga running a full season from August through May. Atletico Madrid quarterfinal: [ESPN+ in the USA](http://go.web.plus.espn.com/jW2Gna) and ViaPlay in the UK, both of which require a subscription to view. The remaining semifinalist will come from the Valencia vs. Athletic Club matchup also happening on Thursday. These two teams have played in five winner-take-all matchups in their history, and all five have gone to extra time: Champions League (2014, 2016), UEFA Super Cup (2018), Spanish Supercopa (2020), and Copa del Rey (2013). There must be a winner on the day with extra time and penalties, if necessary, used in case of a draw after 90 minutes. Atletico won it the season before (2013) and are on a similar dry spell with neither Madrid side even reaching the final during the span since their last triumph. Atletico Madrid won two of them (UEFA Super Cup and Copa del Rey).

— Real Madrid confirmed starting lineup (3-5-2): Courtois (GK) — N. 97 mins to kick: The Real Madrid lineup is out and Carlo Ancelotti has taken sides in one of the more fascinating tactical decisions. The 20th minute of the derby was supposed to have a big ovation for Vinícius. The goal earlier from Atletico seems to have put a damper on a planned show of support for Vinicius Jr after the horrible racist incident earlier this morning. It's a good chance for Madrid as Jan Oblak comes out to punch but misses, and it awkwardly hits Eder Militao in the head on the goal mouth. Atletico happy to sit back and continue to poke and prod on the counter. Real Madrid break well three-on-three, but Los Blancos see the chance fizzle out as Valverde delivers a horrid horizontal ball to Karim Benzema at the top of the box. Atletico Madrid seem quite comfortable with their one-goal lead, and are in control of the match for the most part. A feisty and physical first half comes to a close and the visitors are comfortably on top. 114th min: This is a huge concern for Real Madrid as Rodrygo, who only came on in the 69th minute, limps off for Mario Martin. 119th min: Real Madrid have a decent move forward on the break but can't get a shot off and Jan Oblak collects.
