#2 Atletico squander a great opportunity
Trending
Los Rojiblancos fought valiantly to salvage a draw in a game where they were expected to lose, but they could’ve got much more from it. Like a place in the final.
Firstly, they were gifted a one-man advantage when Roberto was sent off for an early bath. An advantage they never quite took hold of. Secondly, after Carrasco was sent off too, Gamiero had a golden chance to level the things from the spot, but the Frenchman struck his attempt against the crossbar.
The former Sevilla man may have got his goal just three minutes later but had he converted his penalty, it would’ve changed the entire complexion of the game in the final few minutes.
Atletico were dumped out despite putting up a great fight. And now with a huge gap to make up for in La Liga, the only real chance fro them to garner silverware this season would be in the Champions League.
