The second Madrid derby of the season ended in another 1-1 draw, mirroring the scoreline from their previous encounter at the Metropolitano.
Atletico Madrid took the lead in the 35th minute after Julian Alvarez converted a penalty.
The spot-kick was awarded following a VAR review, which determined that Aurelien Tchouameni had fouled Samuel Lino inside the box.
Real Madrid responded after halftime, with Kylian Mbappe netting his 16th La Liga goal of the season.
The French forward reacted quickly after Jude Bellingham’s blocked shot to level the game.
Los Blancos pushed for a winner, with Vinicius Junior and Luka Modric testing Jan Oblak, but the Atletico goalkeeper stood strong to deny them.
The draw means Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid remain just one point apart after 23 matchdays, while Barcelona could close the gap to two points with a win against Sevilla on Sunday.
