Atletico Madrid achieved an unprecedented victory over Lazio Roma. The Spaniards led Lazio 0-1 until the last minute in Rome, but in the final minute it was Ivan Provedel who magically scored the equaliser.
Coach Diego Simeone had to cause a lot of confusion due to the injuries of Koke, Memphis Depay and others. Partly for this reason, Barrios started from the start and there was also a starting place for Alvaro Morata. Lazio and Atletico were equal in the first half, but Atletico’s goal came after 22 minutes. Daichi Kamada was the unfortunate one who deflected Barrios’ shot, sending it beyond goalkeeper Ivan Providel. By the way, both coaches Maurizio Sarri and Simeone received a yellow card in the first half.
Luis Alberto
In the second half, Lazio had some chances. It seems the man Feyenoord should be paying attention to is Luis Alberto. The Spaniard was the man who turned everything around in the Romanian midfield, and also had a number of chances. However, scoring was no longer possible, so Atletico looked to have started their Champions League campaign with a victory.
Strange ending
Because it was not a victory for Atletico. In the last minute of extra time, goalkeeper Providel took a corner kick. After that corner kick, the first cries rose for a penalty kick, but star Alberto remained sharp. He sent a beautiful cross to goalkeeper Providel, who headed in the equalizer. Roma went crazy, but the goalkeeper himself remained remarkably calm. Therefore, Lazio and Atletico start the Champions League campaign with one point, and Feyenoord tops Group E.
