“Most Atletico fans are thinking now [they are in the final] in Milan, but we have 90 minutes left to try and overcome them”.
What a run! Atletico Madrid’s Saul Niguez showed his teammates how it’s done by scoring an epic solo goal against Bayern Munich in his team’s Champions League semi-final on April 27.
“We started badly. The goal was a outcome of our slow play”.
It turned out to be the only goal of the encounter. They scored early, which marked the game, a fantastic goal from Saul.
Bayern dominated for long spells thereafter, but the closest they came to a vital away goal was a thunderous long-range effort from David Alaba that came back off the crossbar.
Spain Under-21 global Niguez’s first-half solo wonder goal after just 11 minutes proved enough to hand the Spanish club a narrow 1-0 victory over Pep Guardiola’s men at Vicente Calderon.
“We are really happy, but we know nothing is done yet”.
Atletico will take a slight advantage to the Allianz Arena for the second leg thanks to a wonderful Saul Niguez solo effort, as their quest to reach a second final in three years grows more likely. We did enough to score a goal. However, in last 2 years, they got defeated by FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Bayern are just one win away from sealing a third Bundesliga title in as many years under Guardiola and the Spaniard said City will get a better coach next season for his experiences in Munich, even if he doesn’t deliver the Champions League. “The national team gave me the chance to live some incredible nights and win big titles”, said Torres.
“We suffered and kept suffering, kept fighting, that’s what we do”.
The match will be harder than against Barcelona, they have a variety of weapons, but they also play the football, we hope that this night would not be good for them Germans said and good results will be achieved.
