Early this morning (November 7), PSG will host Atletico Madrid in the group stage of the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League.
In the 14th minute, PSG took the lead thanks to a mistake by Atletico's defense. Young midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery was there at the right time to score from close range, bringing the opening goal for the home team.
However, it only took Atletico 4 minutes to find the goal. In the 18th minute, from a shot by Nahuel Molina in the penalty area, Atletico Madrid equalized 1-1. Although the referee requested a VAR check to see if there was a handball, the goal was later recognized.
After Atletico Madrid's equalizer, the match became extremely tense with dangerous moves from both teams. PSG's Ousmane Dembele almost increased the score with a powerful shot from outside the box in the 54th minute, but the ball went wide of the post.
Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak also made some excellent saves, especially blocking Achraf Hakimi's shot in the 77th minute.
The drama of the match reached its climax in the 90+3 minute, when Antoine Griezmann made an accurate pass for Angel Correa to score the winning goal 2-1 for Atletico Madrid. This was a fast and sophisticated attack, leaving the PSG goalkeeper unable to stop it.
With 3 valuable points, Atletico Madrid continues to maintain the opportunity to pass the group stage of this year's UEFA Champions League.
