Incredible scenes in Madrid |
Atlético missed a penalty following the final whistle!
Bye-bye, Bayer!
Already 25 minutes before kick-off at Atlético Madrid it is clear: Leverkusen is out of the premier class! Because Porto beat Brugge 4-0.
The 2:2 in Madrid gives at least a little bit of hope for the “Consolation Cup”. With a win once morest the Belgians next Tuesday and a helping hand from Porto once morest Atlético, the knockout phase in the Europa League will still work out.
BUT WHAT MADNESS IN THE FINAL PHASE!
90. Minute + 5:At Atlético’s last corner, the ball jumps first to Hincapié and then to Frimpong’s hand. Both clearly cannot see the ball. The referee blows his whistle! End? No! The video referee intervenes! And decides on 911!
90. Minute + 9: Carrasco takes on Hradecky. Held! Margin Saul — Latte! Additional shot Reinildo — blocked! End! Crazy!
Before kick-off there are whistles for Bayer coach Xabi Alonso. Behind this is of course that he used to be a Real player.
9. Minute: Diaby scores to make it 1-0 from six yards out following preliminary work from Hlozek. Andrich had previously conquered the ball once morest Griezmann. Atlético demands a free kick in vain.
13. Minute: Correa pulls from eleven meters – Hradecky parade!
22. Minute: Carrasco pulls from 17 meters, hits flat in the left corner following Griezmann template. 1:1!
29. Minute: Hudson-Odoi sunk flat from twelve meters. 2:1! This time Amiri had fought hard for the ball once morest Correa in the penalty area.
41. Minute: Xabi Alonso sees the first yellow card of the game. He had held the ball to prevent a quick throw-in from Kondogbia.
50. Minute: Dream goal to equalize! Substitute de Paul circles the ball unchallenged from 17 meters to make it 2-2.
Atlético is putting enormous pressure on, but the Bayer team, which is in a crisis in the Bundesliga, shows character and is strong once morest it.
80. Minute: Shot by Griezmann — save by Hradecky!
82. Minute: Paulinho hammers it — Oblak stops! That would have been it…
Then comes the spectacular ending. Krass: Atlético is also eliminated from the Champions League. Nobody expected that.
