Here are the results of the round of 16 The first leg has shown some impressive performances, Aston Villa is again a team that is confident to continue to advance and they really maximize every opportunity in the Champions League, Real Madrid finally managed to get a pretty important home win and I think this is a match that both sides look balanced, if Vinicius and Mbappe are on fire maybe they will dominate the sharpness on the field.
It’s the kind of result you would expect of a Real Madrid and an Atletico Madrid fixture (2:1). Real Madrid did good in getting early goals for both half’s and was able to hold on to them, despite Atletico Madrid managing to get one back. The second goal by Brahim Diaz was some tactically executed combinations. I almost felt he lost his footing as tried to beat the defense but, he carefully curled the ball from inside his foot to the far corner to get that winning goal for Real Madrid.
