From his image as a local to an observer, The Atletico de Madrid lost At Signal Iduna Park, it swallowed itself Borussia DortmundHe was eliminated from the quarter-finals Champions LeagueAfter not having enough advantage in the first leg, 2-0 in the first half, a 2-2 reaction in the second and two goals in two minutes, 71 to 73, defeated them decisively.
An increasingly persistent dream in this European tournament, in which Haven't been to the semi-finals for seven years, in which he suddenly aims for greater heights, but falls when he least expects it. His first part at the Metropolitano was not good enough for him. Neither was his reaction at Signal Iduna Park in the second half. The German side made the most of their moments in the tie this Tuesday against a heavily-vulnerable Red and White side.
Min 4. 40 meters ahead without resistance, Morata started the race Towards the goal, the agile driver faced the goalkeeper Gobel and was dangerous in his definition: he chipped the ball over the goalkeeper, who did not need to intervene. His shot, so strong, so was the opportunityRepresented the forward's moment: one goal in his last 16 shots.
The beginning was hot, tumultuous, and crazy. Not only because of the German block, the disadvantage from the first leg, the failure of Morata on the edge of the other area that provoked Dortmund's dizziness started to counter-attack: Brand, Adeyemi, Sabitzer, only in that area, easy shot .. and Azpilicueta, today a winger, always a defender. A miracle when the local score was 1-0.
These are the goals of Dortmund Vs. Athletic
In the 34th minute, Brand won 1-0. Hummels saw them infiltrating the area. Jan Oblak's unstoppable midfielder's cross shot wide as his pass went wide of the build-up. Equal elimination. Four minutes later, no time to accept it, the blow was even greater: Matsen is 2-0On the same page, with similar characteristics, with Molina not knowing how and where his rival entered.
In the autumn, it was already clear, there was no excuse for anyone at Atletico. As for Simeone, the plan, which initially worked and then fizzled, was thwarted by Dortmund. He knows Solo Simeon, who maneuvered through the break. Molina out, Llorente right lane, Barrios to middle. Azpilicueta also left for Riquelme. And Morata is out, losing on the scoreboard and giving way to Correa. Results. necessary. ok
Outstanding Movement of Korea; High presence in the opposite field; Riquelme's rise, Barrios' interventions and a corner kick from which Atlético emerged again… It wasn't a good corner, nor an inconclusive shot from Hermoso, who headed meekly into the hands of Cobal. Hummels intervened. (2-1).
As the match turned clear, Correa was simply too much when Atletico and Simeone faced Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park. Always unpredictable, capable of missing a target, a terrific shot against Goblet, much to the frustration of his coach, was thrown to the ground, but And scored with a volley in the 64th to make it 2-2, after a rejection, after stopping from Copal to Riquelme. Even that is not enough.
In a true Russian roulette, Atlético found themselves suddenly eliminated again, thanks to Sabitzer and Fulcrug. The midfielder headed the German scorer to make it 3-2, in the 71st minute, with an extraordinary header at the other post. Minutes later, Sabitzer took a left-footed shot between the visiting legs that went in. 4-2. Oblak saved the fifth place and the red and white team insisted until the end, but it was there. Out of the semi-finals.
