#1 Simeone and Atletico survive the round of comebacks in style
Trending
On a night where Manchester City were added to the list of casualties of reverses from the first leg, Atletico showed everyone how it’s done with a composed performance that perhaps showed what “game management” is actually meant to be rather than a euphemism for time wasting.
The balance between defence and attack was perfectly maintained, meaning the team never lost shape, and Diego Godin ably supported Oblak’s brilliant performance in goal with some great defensive measures of his own.
All in all, Leverkusen had not even a remote chance at joining the likes of Leicester, Barcelona and Monaco – with Atletico slamming the door firmly shut. A performance that Unai Emery and Arsene Wenger will have watched with longing admiration.
