After a very uneventful first period, the return from the locker room was not the most attractive. Indeed, at the hour mark, both teams had only two shots on target each. After a combination from a corner between Modric and Valverde, the Croatian crossed back for Rodrygo who curled his shot but it went over Oblak’s crossbar (51st). Real Madrid created very few chances in this second period and spent their time in defense until an almost surprising awakening. Indeed, Vinicius obtained a good free kick 35 meters in the center following a foul by Robin Le Normand. On the free kick played for two, Vinicius rushed to the left and then crossed at the far post towards Militao who deceived Oblak with power (65th, 0-1).
So the Merengues open the score in a very closed and unexciting match where there was little to get their teeth into. Everything then came to a head when Thibaut Courtois received projectiles on the head. The game was stopped, the Belgian removed the objects from the field and informed the stadium announcer. Tempers flared between the former Chelsea goalkeeper and Koke because the Real Madrid goalkeeper refused to clear the ball as long as he was receiving projectiles. The two teams then returned to the locker room because of the projectiles thrown at Courtois. The Atlético players and Diego Simeone went to see the supporters to calm them down. Lighters, bags filled with excrement, sandwiches, fries, bottles… Thibaut Courtois received countless projectiles in the space of a few seconds.
