Atlético still can’t do it. Held in check by Bruges at home (0-0), the people of Madrid remain confined to a victory in four days of the Champions League. Already beaten by the Belgians last week, Diego Simeone’s players were unable to undermine the solid opposing defense. With four points, Atlético provisionally recovers second place in Group B before the match between Bayer Leverkusen and Porto at 9 p.m. One of these two clubs (or both in the event of a draw) will overtake the Spanish club. For its part, the Club remains undefeated and already validates its qualification for the eighth.

However, as in the first leg, the face of the match was clearly in favor of the Colchoneros. 20 shots attempted last Tuesday, 20 this evening for a total of … 0 goals scored. A finding that hurts for Antoine Griezmann’s teammates. The Frenchman, involved in all the frank actions of his team, was one of the most dangerous players of this meeting. He stumbled on an excellent Simon Mignolet (13th, 15th, 26th, 47th, 49th) or did not find the frame (36th).
Griezmann untenable, Correa missed everything
When he’s not shooting, he serves as a relay for his teammates like this double one-two with Angel Correa before the Argentinian leans on Koke to finish with a cross shot from the left from just wide. of the Belgian goal (20th). Unlike his attacking buddy, Correa missed everything in this game and was especially weak in the line-up. Served deep, he found Saul Niguez in the six yards following knocking out Mignolet. The Spaniard scored in the empty goal but his goal was disallowed for an initial offside by the striker (23rd). He once more found himself in an illicit position when taking the volley from the left diverted by the Belgian goalkeeper (47th) before missing the target a few minutes later (49th).
After having disgusted Griezmann for 79 minutes, the former doorman of the Reds will have been decisive until the end by being on the road of Alvaro Morata whose powerful shot he diverted at close range … from the face (88th). Before completing his work with a knee rescue once morest Matheus Cunha who took over a cross from De Paul (90th + 1). Madrid attackers will certainly have nightmares. In addition to being impeccable on his line, he was at the origin of his team’s clearest opportunity by quickly restarting following a corner for an express counter-attack by his team.

And Buchanan thought he got a penalty once morest Molina (41st) before the VAR intervened and Mr. Makkiele became aware of an involuntary sole from the Canadian on the defender. The Dutch referee, also author of a very good performance, cracked at the end of the match by only sending a yellow card to Geoffrey Kondogbia for a tackle on the calf of Buchanan (80th) before excluding Kawal Sowah for a second warning considering that the player had shown anti-game by sending the ball away following a foul by Balanta (82nd). The Ghanaian’s gesture seemed to come at the same time as the referee’s whistle. Charged by Cunha in his area, Mignolet did not obtain the free kick which logically belonged to him then was warned for dispute (90th).
A tense end to the match which did not disturb the Belgian club or its goalkeeper in any way, while Atlético pushed in numerical superiority. Undefeated in this group B (three wins, one draw), Bruges has still not conceded a single goal in this Champions League campaign. A performance that allows them to be the fourth team qualified for the round of 16 following Manchester City, Real Madrid and Naples.
