In a infarction match, Real Madrid defeated Atlético Madrid in the penalties and advanced to Cuartos
A true duel of UEFA Champions League To rent balconies, it occurred in this series between real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. A film that had everything and ended with a penal definition that ended 4-2 in favor of Carlo Ancelotti. As if Julián Álvarez was missing something, they were annulled via var and for double touch a previously converted shot.
As for the party itself, nor in the most optimistic of dreams Atlético Madrid would have imagined a start like the one it had; In just 30 seconds he found the goal he needed to match the series against Real Madrid on the feet of Conor Gallagher, after a great play by Rodrigo de Paul on the right.
The strong blow made sense of the real, which far from rehearsing a comeback, was very erratic and evidencing a tactical disorder that did not allow him to advance in the field. Simeone’s were putting their rival in an arc and the chances began to fall. Julián Álvarez had it first with a bombing from the left and then another from the right, but in both situations the trigger was the same: Courtois deactivated the bomb and deprived the mattress of 2-0.
In history, the second part forced the meringue to look for the goal that the classification was going to give him, after having imposed 2-1 in the first leg. The little he showed in attack came at the feet of Viniciusthat using his speed attempt how he could generate danger in the rival area. Until Mbappé woke up: he took the last ball half of the court, he faced Letlen and, when he entered the area, he was shot down by the defender. Criminal and gold opportunity for the visitor, who minutes later was pure disappointment when Vinicius took the ball and executed above the crossbar.
The minutes passed, the result was intact and the whistle that determined the end of the 90 minutes regulatory came. Already in the elong, he dominated the fear of risking and neither of them were encouraged to look for the goal that the classification would have given them. Few danger actions and a feeling that penalties were the best option. This was given until Judge Szymon Marciniak determined that the Madrid classic was going to define from the twelve steps.
The definition was not exempt from controversy. In the second penalty of Atlético, Julián Álvarez slipped but his shot ended in goal. However, the VAR reviewed the play and told the judge that he had touched her with both feet, so the conversion was invalidated. Then, Llorente also failed for the mattress and finally a weak response from Oblak allowed Rudiger to put the bun to the series. In this way, and 4-2, Real Madrid signed the pass to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, where Arsenal already expects.
