Power match lived at Juventus Stadium. Both teams came out determined to get the victory from the first minute and never speculated. Koke, at the very beginning, and Mario Suárez, close to the half-time, had the best chances of our team but encountered an inspired Buffon who perfectly resolved all the work he had. For their part, the Italians tried constantly but crashed once and again with Atlético’s wall. A defence that give no option to the team coached by Allegri.
The second half had a script just like the first. Our guys were very well organised on the field playing the fixture intelligently, while Juventus, pushed by tireless fans, tried to drill Atlético’s goal with more heart than head. The great collective work of all our players made it possible to seal the qualification for the round of 16 as first of our group thanks to a hard-worked draw in Turin.
