Long-inning defeat to Real Madrid, Atletico dreamed of a return home

NGUYỄN ĐĂNG |

Real Madrid only beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, giving Diego Simeone and his team a big chance in the second leg.

Rodrygo gave Real a 4-minute lead, then Julian Alvarez equalized for the visitors. Brahim Diaz sealed the victory for Real. At the end of the match, Mbappe and Vinicius had a great chance to score the third goal for Real but they were unsuccessful.

Coach Simeone said that Real's failure to score a third goal gave his team more opportunities in the second leg at Metropolitano Stadium.

"We played well in this match. There was only a risk at the end of the match, when Real won the ball, with Mbappe and Vinicius having the ball. They didn't score in the ball, giving us a chance in the next match," Simeone said after the match.

Meanwhile, coach Ancelotti emphasized that Real Madrid will face many challenges when playing the second leg away. If today is difficult, imagine how difficult the return match will be. We have a small advantage but will face many challenges at Metropolitano. Things will not be as different as in the first leg.

Simeone admitted that Atletico's 1-2 defeat " Was not a satisfactory result", but said his players "played well" and needed "very much effort" in front of the home fans.

Ancelotti defended the performances of star strikers Mbappe and Vinicius, who both had a poor night against Atletico and could not score late in the match.

" Facing Atletico's defense is not easy. Mbappe and Vinicius did not have many opportunities. They have a chance at the end of the game and they can handle it better. They have not shown their quality, but they can do it in the second leg, said Ancelotti.

Meanwhile, striker Rodrygo was surprised by Atletico's playing style. He told Movistar: Normally when facing Atletico, we always attack, but today they control the ball more at some points. There were times when we had to defend, but then the team played well and got a goal from Brahim Diaz.

Diaz celebrated his decisive goal by jumping into the crowd first at the Bernabeu and then screaming angrily at Simeone.

A day earlier, the Atletico coach said that he did not expect Diaz to start at Bernabeu, he predicted Luka Modric would be the replacement player.

The return match between Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid takes place at 3:00 a.m. on March 13.
