Footage of Real Madrid’s Dani Carvajal ‘Destroying’ Griezmann With Sublime Skill in Madrid Derby Spotted

• Dani Carvajal proved he is not only adept with his defensive duties but also great at improvising with sublime skills to outwit a marker
• The Madrid right-back unleashed a skill similar to Ronaldinho or Lionel Messi to leave Antoine Griezmann literally 'eating grass'
• He played a crucial role as Los Blancos saw off crosstown rivals Atletico in a fiery edition of the city's local derby at the Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday

Real Madrid grabbed the bragging rights in the most recent instalment of the Madrid derby when they edged their city rivals, Atletico Madrid on Sunday evening.

First-half strikes from Rodrygo and the red-hot Valverde rendered Mario Hermoso's late strike a consolation as the Los Blancos sealed a 2-1 win against the Rojiblancos.

In the build-up to the top-liner in the La Liga over the weekend, Vinicius Junior's goal celebrations were the subject of discussion with some pundits in the Spanish media warning the Brazilian against his samba-styled dance antics.

Vini and his Madrid teammates will turn the negativity around to mute Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano with a splendid performance to keep their unbeaten run and the perfect start to the season intact.

But one of the key highlights which emerged after the Madrid derby was a sequence of play involving full-back Dani Carvajal and Griezmann, who was starting his first game for Atletico Madrid since May 22 (against Real Sociedad).

In a video posted on Twitter, sighted by Sports Brief, Griezmann charged down on Carvajal, who was looking to locate a teammate up front.

However, the ex-Leverkusen right-back opted to lob the ball over Griezmann who slid in with the aim of winning the ball but was left 'eating grass' with Carvajal's sublime skill.

Rodrygo and Valverde strike as Madrid danced to three points at Atletico Madrid

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Vinícius Júnior said he would dance, and dance he did.

The Real Madrid forward didn’t score in the first half against Atletico Madrid but still got to dance when fellow Brazilian Rodrygo scored.

Rodrygo opened the scoring in the 18th minute when he latched onto a beautifully chipped balled over the defence from Aurélien Tchouaméni.
