Conor Gallagher surprised everyone by scoring in the first minute of the match. Real Madrid did not even imagine that Atletico players would attack so quickly. However, since Atletico Madrid lost the first leg by 1 goal, now the match is equal. Real Madrid will target a draw in the match. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid will have to win by 2 goals to qualify for the quarter-finals.

We've have a local proverb that says "it's not the first person who takes a case to the police that will win." What it means is, it's not who score first that will win the match. Scoring early is good and it will help build their confidence but one goal is not enough. If they want to progress to the next stage, they need to score more goals and not concede. Will they be able to do that? I doubt it.

You have a point though because, ain’t no way Real Madrid is leaving the champions league at this stage. Atletico Madrid surprised me though. The referee was yet to bring down his whistle after blowing the kick off and the ball was in the goal. I was left completely stunned at what I was watching but, there isn’t a course to be alarmed. Real Madrid have always hit a trick off their sleeves and they would let it out just when you ain’t looking.
