Incredulity
Atlético came out in a storm after the restart, but they also didn’t receive the deserved award for their dominance and insistence. Correa was disallowed a goal for offside, just as in the first half it happened with a goal from Sal, and moments later Griezmann met Mignolet’s exit on a pintipara chance . On the rebound, with everything in favor, Correa was filled with the ball. More nerves, more haste, a lot of wear and a triple change from Cholo, who was looking for more legs and more shots with Carrasco, Morata and De Paul, booed after this clearance for personal reasons given to him by the club and drove on a party trip with her partner. Cunha also came in in place of an exhausted Griezmann – change whistled – but the siege ended as it started and without Joao. Even the childish expulsion of Sowah did not dislodge Bruges. Even with his face and range from close range to match Mignolet. Morata’s disbelief was that of the whole Atltico.
