It was not on Sunday that the Atlético de Madrid hoped. Between his two meetings against Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League, Antoine Griezmann's team lost big points on the field of another team from the Spanish capital, Getafe.

Poor operation for Atlético
However, a fact of play could have saved Atléti: a failed outing of the goalkeeper and a hand of a defender of Getafe, detected by the Var. Griezmann being out, Alexander Sorho was not asked to open the scoring (0-1, 75th).
