Gabe Lezra, Om Arvind and Kiyan Sobhani break down Real Madrid's huge win against Atletico Madrid in the derbi on Saturday. No flying stuffed rats or cortes de manga here--but there is a ton of tactical analysis, individual player performance discussion and questions to be answered...which is why we gave you all a big 85 minutes show!

We discussed:

• Kiyan's favorite performance of the Solari era
• Om's tactical rundown
• What happened in the first half, and what the goals changed
• The extent to which VAR swung this match (spoiler alert: not very much)
• Wasn't that a foul on Vinicius?
• Tossing rats
• Reversion to the mean incoming? Or is this the new normal?
• What considerations would go into deciding to renew Solari's contract?
• Sergio Ramos the scoring machine
• Morata: unlucky but not a bad move for them
• Reguilón with the statement match
• Casemiro like Carvajal in that he needs competition
• What happened at halftime? What changed tactically, and what those changes meant.
• xG questions and what the advanced stats can tell us
• and more!
