Atletico Madrid took revenge for their defeat by Real Madrid in last season's Champions League final as they defeated the reigning champions by two goals to one.
Reigning La Liga champions Atletico took an early lead at the Bernabeu as Tiago headed in from a corner in the 10th minute, which was leveled by Cristiano Ronaldo, returning from injury, through a penalty he had won.
But Atletico, who had to resist plenty of home pressure, won the game courtesy of Arda Turan's neat finish in the 76th minute of the game, The BBC reported.
Prior to the game, Atletico boss Diego Simeone had downplayed his side's chances of defending their league crown following a summer exodus that saw five key players from last season's La Liga-conquering team depart the club, the report added.
