Actually the match was a little bit boring. There were not many chances during the game for both teams (1 shot of City and 3 of Atletico). However, in the second half the things would change due to Atleti could score a goal to draw the match. About the first half, there were just some dangerous plays for both teams but, in general, nothing interesting. In the second half, with the players that left the bench to enter on the pitch, the physical effort and the mental, the way to play would change for both teams.
The team of Diego Pablo Simeone had a very good match. They pressured them a lot, they had some chances and they had the support of their fans. In addition, the fans of “Atleti” did an awesome performance yesterday. After losing the second leg game, all people stayed on the stadium to support the team and players. They felt so proud of the effort of the players and they wanted to thank them. Despite of the lose, Wanda Metropolitano had another magical night on this aspect.
Pep Guardiola´s team could completed an improvable performance. With the players that Pep has they could do much better. They had also a lot of losses of minutes because they were suffering more than necessary. Also, at the end of the game, there was some controversy and some fights between players of Atleti and City. Everything was cause thanks to a fault of Felipe to Foden. Savic entered and argued on a very aggressive way and all the team entered with him. After the match and when they went to the changing room, some players like Vrsaljko or Grealish keep arguing inside. Of course this actions were pathetics.
With this result, City will play against Madrid on a very beautiful match. Atleti will fight for the second place of Liga Santander with Sevilla and Barcelona, without doubts will be exciting until the end.
