Thibaut Courtois played his first match at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano since joining Real Madrid and was whistled throughout, while he also had toy rats thrown at him.
The goalkeeper didn't focus on this, though, as he was instead concentrating on the match.
"I was calm and had a cool head," he later said of his approach to this game.
"I didn't see the plaque, I'm not about that. I was preparing to play.
"I was here for three years and that can't be erased. I have maximum respect for Atletico.
"People respect me and the Atletico fans I meet on the street wish me the best.
"What happened is that this is a derby, so it's a different kind of match."
Courtois went on to talk about his side's chances of winning LaLiga Santander, now that they've moved up into second place.
"You always have to believe," he said. "We had a bad month in October and January started poorly, but now we're doing well.
"We feel really good and it's important to win matches against direct rivals, like we did today.
"We need to fight until the final match, but this coming month is a decisive one."
The focus now turns to the Champions League for Real Madrid, as they face Ajax on Wednesday.

If he had "maximum" respect, he'd never join their rivals. That's a fact.
you would do the same if you were him i am sure
