Atlético made do with an appointment at the Parisian dentist with two strong teeth. Oblak released his arm to launch the red and white counterattack which Correa completed with the horn after a survival exercise in the second half. An agonizing victory which allows Simeone’s team to get back into the fight and appear among the first eight and qualify directly for the round of 16.
The rojiblancos were competitive in a stadium that devours their rivals. They stood strong and struck with force. “Happy for the team. We deserved to win. We defended with great collective work against a team that works very well, with a great evening from Oblak and with a vigor that we did not have against Lille. This allows us to win a match and make up for the one we couldn’t win against Lille,” explains Cholo.
