The Spanish tied the tie around the 90th minute and were more effective from the eleven meter mark.
Atlético de Madrid was the eighth and last team to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, beating Inter Milan this Wednesday 2-1, with 3-2 in the penalty shoot-out.
At a disadvantage in the tie, Atlético de Madrid started the match strong, threatening Sommer’s goal early on, after six minutes Samuel Lino forced the Swiss goalkeeper into a good save.
Despite the opponent’s good entry, Inter reacted and began to threaten Oblak’s goal. Atlético’s goalkeeper twice blocked Dumfries’ shot on the right side of the Nerazzurri’s attack.
Unlike the game at San Siro, the match started with great intensity, with both teams looking for the goal. And the goal ended up arriving just after half an hour; studied play by Inter and Dimarco, in the heart of the area, opening the scoring.
But anyone who thought that this goal resolved the tie for the Italians was wrong, as the ‘colchoneros’ equalized soon after; error in the heart of Inter’s defense and Griezmann taking advantage to score in Sommer’s face. Until half-time, the Frenchman had another opportunity to score, but that ended up being denied by his compatriot Pavard.
In the second half the Spanish started stronger, as happened in the first half, threatening the second goal; but the most striking opportunity came from Inter when, in the 71st minute, Thuram was released and, in Oblak’s face, shot over.
After Inter’s failure, Atlético threatened again when Memphis Depay shot at the post, which was the foreshadowing of the goal that would soon follow; work from Koke and Depay in the heart of the area made it 2-1 and drove the Wanda Metropolitano crazy.
After an extension with few incidents, the decision ended up being made in the penalty shoot-out. Then the ‘colchoneros’ were more effective, winning 3-2; Ñiguez failed for Atlético, Alexis Sánchez, Klaassen and Lautaro Martínez failed.
