Brahim Diaz was left frustrated after Real Madrid failed to beat city rival Atletico Madrid on Sunday in La Liga.

Atletico Madrid's Marcos Llorente notched up a goal in injury time to cancel out Brahim Diaz's first-half opener for Real Madrid with the match ending 1-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu.

“This result is unfair. We have had several opportunities to kill the game. It makes me angry that I didn’t score to make it 2-0,” Brahim said after the match.

“I was on the bench, then they suddenly they told me that I’m starting,” he added.

Table-toppers Real are on 58 points, two ahead of Girona, who they host on Saturday. Atletico remain fourth with 48 points, two behind third-placed Barcelona.

"It was a good game from our side, we controlled the game but we were unlucky to concede a goal in the last minute," Real manager Carlo Ancelotti told reporters.

"We did well, we deserved to win but we have nothing to complain about. We are leaders and we have another chance to take a big step forward next Saturday.

"The team has to be calm, a good point has come out of it."

The hosts took the lead after 20 minutes when Diaz took advantage of a loose ball after some sloppy Atletico defending inside the box to net one from close range and score his fourth league goal this season.

Atletico’s equaliser was ruled out by VAR in the opening minutes of the second half after Stefan Savic's towering header was called offside.

Diego Simeone's men finally got back on level terms in the final seconds of the game when midfielder Llorente headed from a Memphis Depay cross.

"The goal tastes very good, we worked hard during the game, we got a point and we are happy with the team's work," Llorente told Movistar.

"It doesn't taste like a win the way the game was going, but we got a valuable point."

Atletico next host Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Cup semi-finals on Wednesday.
