Atlético were beaten in the Champions League for the second time in a row. They were poor, made mistakes and were unlucky. Lille were better and deserved to win. Even with arrogance in the final stretch, with the rival already in tatters, with the Metropolitan resigned to the fact that a civil war never ends well.

The game was not resolved in the first half because the Norwegian striker missed two chances. One was assisted by Griezmann and the other was a mistake. The team is battered, so some thought it would pay off. Correct.

Lille's set-up was clear, with a Fernández-Pardo drive and a header from Alexsandro from a corner. The French castle collapsed when a crack was found in Ousmane Touré's area. The 19-year-old was overwhelmed by the scenario from the moment he gave the ball to Julián to leave him one-on-one with the goalkeeper. The Argentine solved it and the centre-back was on top.

His next attacks were terrifying, and Atlético couldn't even defend. Sorloth took out Cabella, one of Lille's best players. Genesio had already changed the team's line-up, but Zhegrova could have been the substitute. Sorloth's chances are worth thinking about.

Simeone had made a bet with a four-man defence. He is short of centre-backs, with Galán on the left and the three-man midfield dominating. There was more play than goals in the first half. The last chance went to Lille. Nahuel fought for a long ball that ended up at Zhegrova's feet, whose shot went wide. The stadium was already arguing with the other side.

Touré didn't come back because his coach saw what the other team was doing and Atlético was getting weaker. They tried to hold on, but they couldn't. There were no more chances for Atlético until the final attack. They had to adapt their tactics, and the opposition set up a play that started on the left and reached the other side of the area, where Zhegrova scored. Someone in the stands started doing the wave minutes before the tie. Karma.

Cholo finally lost faith in Sorloth and brought on Correa, but the final blow came in the form of a surreal penalty. It was supposedly due to minimal contact by Koke, who knows, confirmed in any case by technology. As a result, Jonathan David, a substitute striker, put the ball ahead. The team not only held on to their advantage but actually increased it at the last minute. The youngster scored a double after Chevalier and Mandi took out Lino and Giuliano for the equaliser. Both were included in the triple and it was the last desperate move by Atlético. And so the night ended. We'll see how the days go. It looks bad, very bad. Discouragement is spreading.
