Font size

Bayern Munich defeated Atlético this Tuesday on matchday four of the Champions League. In a first act without shots between the three sticks, the Bavarian team dominated possession of the ball against a Simeone team that defended very well and tried to go on the counterattack. In one of these transitions at the start of the match, Julián had the clearest one for the red and whites with a shot that went wide. Bayern stepped into the area, but their shots were deflected or blocked by a very alert local defense. After the break, Kimmich warned with a shot from distance that Oblak cleared with the first shot on goal of the game. The script was the same and the German team had a hard time generating chances. But a mistake by Le Normand, who fell asleep in the area with the ball, left Karl before Oblak and he beat the Slovenian goalkeeper one-on-one. Atlético reacted after the goal and took the lead, but in the 74th minute a whip from Laimer sealed the match with the second. Simeone's men, with four points out of a possible 12, are moving away from the top eight.

Marcos Llorente: "We were not expecting the first goal"

We knew the game that awaited us. They are a very strong team. We were holding up well, but this is the Champions League and these small details decide the game. We didn't expect the first goal and it was a shock. Then it cost us.
