He was uncertain all week and only played half time before returning to warm.

But that was enough for Karim Benzema to illuminate his class in the Madrid derby on Sunday evening, with a volley of unstoppable purity on a well-felt back pass from his new best friend Vinicius.

A quick goal (a quarter of an hour's play), but a goal that was almost worth the victory as Simeone's Atletico Madrid has shown its limits for many seasons when it was behind against Real Madrid or FC Barcelona .

This time again, there was no real debate, despite a good free kick from Griezmann well boxed by Courtois before the break.

Asensio killed the suspense on the hour mark on a well-conducted counterattack (2-0), bringing his lead over the Colchoneros to 13 points.

The only team still vaguely in sight, Lopetegui's Sevilla FC, still eight points with one game less.

In short, this thirteenth goal of the season for Benzema is already worth a half-liga.
