Derek we can talk about coaches and their methods but it's now down to the players which ones are going to stand out who will affect the game and who will have the greater desire it should be a cracking game though Tony via interception to Snuff out the danger this is the starting line up for Atletico Jan Oak is the preferred keeper Rodrigo deul starts alongside kok in central Midfield and so many different ways to configure an attack in this case it'll be two men up [Applause] front and here's the xira starting 11 David Lopez plays alongside Dy blint in central defense and the formid

circumstances Samuel loo oh it might be well somehow the goalkeeper got to it played in by griman and able to get the body in the way well there it is Atletico have dominated possession in the last 15 minutes and they've created chances they just haven't had that end product you just get a sense that equalizer is coming yes it's going to plan and they might be able to carve out another chance can they stop it going in and so it is the first half has come to an end here in the Spanish capital and I must say antoan gasman has had real difficulties imposing himself on the game and we didn't think that would be one of the story lines going in Stuart yeah you're right he needs to impose himself on this game he just hasn't done enough to get away from his marker so far unless that changes they're going to underway in the second half and and Atletico trailing let's see if they can turn this round in position here to protect the [Music] ball and teammates to play it to and that was goalkeeping right out of the top draw it's absolutely remarkable his reflexes were brilliant there it is an Atletico [Music] substitution whipped in by griezman well just couldn't quite control the header and a disappointing effers in the end Atletico get the free kick decision their way [Music] [Applause] maxel Vell firing it in and a fine stop [Music] short corner it is now well Molina oh a tremendous block and the flag is up offside well that's just a lack of awareness he was clearly in an offside position well both teams have had substitutes swarming up and now both will rely on their respective benches [Music] [Applause] a struggle for Atletico to keep the ball now look at this they might be able to cash in here real chance it's still alive and clears the danger Lamar to Lamar now the cut back fine tackle there to prevent the chance under real pressure here and they've done it a goal for Atletico who now are Level well let's take another look and it's a very good goal and they deserve it you have to say they've been excellent [Applause] well they needed that and so did he just look at the manager's relief [Applause] [Music] there so back underway following The Equalizer one Ivan Martin [Music] foru Marcos yente really fine play to keep possession 30 minutes left for play well not giving the opposition a look in that's strong play it's a perfect [Music] challenge strong play

and that might well be the [Applause] decider Atletico Madrid know they're not going to get too many more chances time as a factor gasman and defensive play to be applauded Victor sanov and the referee is quite rightly letting it go and they trouble the opposition this [Applause] time possibilities Inside the [Applause] Box still looking for space AR now Martinez mark jente has it and
