This was another resurrection for a manager who has something almost mystical about him, back in a place that seemed unreachable until recently. Atlético were top for six months and disappearing into the distance, but Madrid walked a tightrope to put themselves above their neighbours now. Above Barcelona, too. Ten games they have gone without defeat; nineteen games Barcelona were unbeaten until they came here. As these two chased down Atlético, knowing they could afford no errors, obligation eventually become opportunity, and in a lively start here Madrid grasped it. Two early goals demonstrated the value of the willingness to run, a portrait of a pair of men who should be the club’s future. They also, in truth, offered an unflattering portrait of Barcelona’s defence.
