Manager Zinedine Zidane rested several of his first-team players, including Gareth Bale, before the Madrid derby with Atletico on Saturday.

Despite a strong start by the visitors, Real took the lead when Vinicius Junior curled in his first goal of the season.

Rodrygo added a second with a clinical low strike soon after coming on.

Real, who have won four and drawn two of their league games, are top with 14 points, one ahead of second-placed Atletico.
