Real Madrid lift La Undecima

#5 Atleti’s attack goes missing

Fernando Torres looked off-coloured.

For all the hoopla surrounding the strike partnership of Fernando Torres and Antoine Griezmann, Atleti’s attack turned out a damp squib. Neither of the two were truly able to conjure real chances, whereas the latter even missed a penalty that ultimately proved costly.

Los Colchoneros spent most of the first half in their own half, and in the second one where they appeared slightly more threatening, the threat was actually stemming through the likes of Juanfran, Felipe Luis and Carrasco on the wings.

The introduction of Carrasco injected some life back into Atleti’s attack, but still not enough to win it.
