The derby at the Vicente Calderón has put Rafa Benítez in the spotlight. Internet users are critical of his gameplan against Atlético. They think he was too conservative and as a result his team lost two points, which could easily have been three had it not been for Keylor Navas.

MARCA.com asked fans what they thought of Benítez's gameplan.

The top rated comment was the following: "Real Madrid cannot retreat to their own half after scoring a goal and play the remaining 80 minutes looking for a counter attack however bad shape they are in physically at this early point in the season. By concentrating on defending we lose our mental freshness in attack; and Real Madrid should play attacking football".

Other comments left it clear that: "you cannot gamble on the outcome" and branded Rafa Benítez as "too conformist", "a bit cowardly" and "negative".
