To achieve their goals today, three weeks after having suffered the law of the Nerazzurri at San Siro (1-0), the Colchoneros were able to count on the return to business of Griezmann, finally recovered from his ankle injury. While Dimarco opened the scoring for the Milanese (0-1, 33e), the French international benefited from a defensive blunder by Pavard, his selection companion, to immediately set the record straight (1-1, 35e).

Lautaro Martinez in the clouds

By pushing hard in the second half – literally setting things on fire in the last quarter of an hour – the Madrilenians ended up snatching extra time, rewarded by Depay, a real luxury joker for Atlético this season (2-1, 87e).
