Atlético Madrid sent their sarcastic congratulations to Real Madrid after it emerged that the ankle injury suffered by Federico Valverde in the derby before the international break was not as serious as Los Blancos wanted to make out.
Madrid were left furious by the refereeing in their 2–1 defeat to Atlético last month, with the decision not to send off Lee Kang-in for a tough tackle on Valverde a particularly sore spot.
