Congratulations to Atlético Madrid! I'm very pleased with their performance. Atlético Madrid made sure that there were plenty of La Liga teams in the quarterfinals. Since La Liga teams had not advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League in a long, they will now be happy. It will also be beneficial if La Liga teams win the Champions League this season because the Premier League team won it the previous season, so they should allow La Liga teams to win the league as well.
Atletico Madrid just played a great match against Inter Milan. They defeated their opponent 2-1 after 90 minutes, thereby balancing the score at 2-2 after two games. Koke tried his best, and Griezman kept going until he couldn't run anymore. Memphis Depay came on and appeared when the team needed him. Jan Oblak is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He showed that today.
I was quite surprised that Inter went out on penalties and yes, Lautaro Martinez was a concern because his shot didn't go in the right direction and that was also what let Atletico Madrid through. Honestly, it was very stressful to see Inter being careless in taking the penalty.
However, Inter have dropped out of the race for the top 8 in the UCL and there will be a big evaluation ahead.
Congratulations to Atletico Madrid who fought until the end and showed an extraordinary mentality, since the first half Simeone's troops were intent on winning. For Inter, it is time for them to return to Serie A and improve the mentality of their players, while the special words for Lautaro Martinez were that his kick was very disappointing, and really made Inter fans quite annoyed to see it.
