In fact Atletico Madrid's strength this season is still the same as last season, but they are often unable to consistently maintain the team's performance so we often see the Atletico Madrid team playing below standard in the domestic league and Atletico Madrid's victory over Inter Milan was a bit of a surprise because Inter Milan was in conditions are very good this season but this is the Champions League, there are many surprises and a mentality is needed and Atletico Madrid have proven that they have a pretty good mentality on the Champions League stage.
Inter tried their best in the second leg, but that was because Atletico Madrid had extra spirit at home. Antoine Griezmann did give his best for his team, but there were several big chance which in the end were not able to be utilized perfectly before extra time. Rodrigo Riquelme really would have been the hero of the victory if he had scored a goal in the final minutes of the second half, but unfortunately he failed because his shot went over.
But it was a deserved win for Atletico Madrid. This team has proven that they deserve to progress to the quarter-finals because Inter were completely different in the second half. They lost a lot of things when Atletico Madrid appeared with high spirits, so it was natural that Atletico Madrid managed to qualify for the quarter-finals to accompany the other two La Liga teams Real Madrid and Barcelona.
