What a run from the keeper. I can see how none of the Atletico defenders picked him up though, with the subdued outfit he was wearing.

What a beautiful glancing header though :lol:

Another tough night for the Mekon. :lol:

 

2 nowt Bayern.

It would normally annoy me that he gets a get out of jail free card due to the ‘off the field issues’ keeping the fans and the press off his back. But long may it continue

Unlucky @Diego21 :lol: 

Well. I think that if we talk about bad luck, the people of Atleti can give a few classes on it.

 

We have always been called in a derogatory way 'El Pupas' which is something like saying that something bad always happens to us (Pupa is a way of saying hurt).

We have played 3 UEFA Champions League finals in our life.

-We lost one against Bayern in injury time in 1974 with a shot from more than 35 meters in the last action of the match.

-We lost another in the 94th minute in 2014 against Real Madrid.

-We lost another on penalties against Real Madrid in 2016 after we missed a penalty in regulation time and Real Madrid scored their goal clearly offside.

The history of Atleti is full of moments of this style.

 

I don't know if you remember the 'comical' situation that occurred last year in the group stage between Atleti and Bayer Leverkusen. Atleti needed to score a goal to stay alive in the competition. The referee whistled the end of the game. And when people were already leaving the stadium and the players were going to the locker room tunnel, the VAR said that there was a penalty in favor. Carrasco missed it, the rebound fell to Saúl, who hit the crossbar and the rebound fell again to Carrasco, who shot into an empty goal and, when the ball was almost in, it hit one of our players, Reinildo, and he left. out.

 

I saw that game in the stadium with a friend who was going for the first time. I already knew that we were not going to score that penalty. She is still in disbelief about what happened. For me it was just another day being an Atleti fan.
