Champions League
Outrageous: Even in a film, the final between Atletico Madrid and Leverkusen cannot be described in words
Shock and awe in Madrid as the referee blows the final whistle, awarding a post-match penalty and drenching Atletico in one of the craziest sequences in Champions League history.
What happened on Wednesday evening (October 26th) in Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano doesn’t even happen in the cinema. It cannot be described in words. You can’t believe such a story if you don’t see what really happened in the match between Atletico and Leverkusen on matchday 5 of the UEFA Champions League.
The referee blew the whistle when the score was 2-2, but seconds later decided to check the final phase for a possible penalty. He went to VAR and gave Atlético the game over (!), only Yannick Carrasco got the penalty spot, shot over Hratetzki, Saul Niguez took the “attack rebound”, sent the ball to the crossbar and the hosts got a third chance. Reinaldo was in the right position but fired at Carrasco to miss the ball and put the Spaniards out of contention.

After PSG’s unexpected defeat against Sporting (1:2), the fans of the Parisian club exploded with anger. Although the European champion team controlled the game, they showed low efficiency in attack and mistakes in defense in the last minutes.
Fans have identified this summer’s new arrivals as the real culprit: the goalkeeper Lucas Knight and defender Ilya Zabarny. Chevalier was criticized for Luis Suarez’s pass to the centre, which brought the second goal, and Zabarny was criticized for the Ukrainian player’s poor play on the right wing of the defence, even though he played for only ten minutes.
Fans even dubbed them the “double maléfique” (“evil duo”) and demanded that the club reconsider its personnel decisions. PSG now have a chance to improve in the following matches to maintain their position in European competition.
