The last time Julián Álvarez faced Real Madrid , his mishap in a penalty shootout led to another painful loss for Atlético Madrid .

Álvarez redeemed himself on Saturday when he scored two goals to fuel a 5-2 rout of Atlético's fiercest rival in a La Liga derby. It was the first time in 75 years that Atlético scored five goals against their crosstown rival.

The Argentina striker stole the show from Kylian Mbappé , who scored as Madrid built a 2-1 lead. Álvarez converted a penalty to put the hosts ahead 3-2 early in the second half before he added a second goal with a curling free kick.
