After the bitter clap against FC Bayern, Atletico Madrid were under pressure against FC Salzburg. Diego Simeone’s team was the clear favorite and also took the lead. After that, however, things got turbulent.
Atletico Madrid had a spectacular 3-2 win against FC Salzburg. The “Colchoneros” took the lead after 29 minutes through Llorente and held their own. But the cheeky Salzburgers weren’t afraid of the Spaniards. Shortly before and shortly after the break, coach Jesse Marsch’s team struck.
Dominik Szoboszlai (40th) and Mergim Berisha (47th) were successful for the Austrians, causing the US coach to explode on the sidelines. But Atletico stayed calm and quickly equalized. Joao Felix was the goalscorer in the 52nd minute. Shortly before the end, Madrid even clinched victory. Again it was Felix who put the ball in the Salzburg Gate (85th).
Next week, FC Bayern will face Salzburg, Atletico face Lok Moscow.
