After a tough run in the semi-finals, madrid have shown their resilience once again by reaching the quarter-finals now, a victory in controversy clearly colouring their move yesterday when eliminating Atletico Madrid, although I personally wouldn't deny a double tap on the ball due to Alvarez slipping, but I wouldn't want to say that the pinalty alvarez was the reason for Atletico defeat, In my opinion their mistake was after scoring the first goal in the first minute which instead of looking for a second goal and continuing to increase the attack when madrid game was chaotic, but instead the Atletico players preferred to defend in the first half, but apart from that, of course the attitude shown by Simeone was extraordinary after his team lost, he even entered the field to shout and ask fans to keep encouraging their players who were sad.
Even though Atletico Madrid ultimately lost and had to be eliminated from the UCL, to be honest, I now respect them. because they have played very well and maybe if their opponent in the round of 16 is not Real Madrid then it is possible that Atletico Madrid will be able to qualify for the next stage. Unfortunately, the opponent they face is Real Madrid, which is certainly a very difficult opponent. Especially in terms of penalty shootouts. We know that Real Madrid is always superior in this regard. But I like Atletico Madrid's game and yes, Atletico Madrid should maintain the rhythm of play they had in the first minutes of their game. because they could have added goals in that match in normal times.To me, Real Madrid strikers did not act well in this second leg because they couldn't score a single goal from the game, if not that they took the advantage of the first leg to secure 2 goals to top Atletico Madrid, it would have over them .
