The counterattack that was 1-0, which started from a cross into the box by Kieran Trippier, made the difference. It was driven by Kai Havertz, It was sped up by Timo Werner and finished by Hakim Ziyech on a pass from the German attacker. A quick action that definitively knocked out Atlético, which hardly created any real danger opportunities this Wednesday, perhaps just an attempt by Joao Félix, especially the last one in ’92. Then came Emerson’s 2-0 in another counterattack.
Luis Suárez was no longer there, who was changed in the absence of half an hour, when Atlético needed two goals to pass the tie, nor Stefan Savic, sent off minutes before.
