Champions League: Porto – Atlético: summary, result and goals

Porto – Atlético, last minute live

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the live of a real game! Once we have left Halloween night behind, it is time for Atlético to commend themselves to all their saints in search of achieving their pass to the Europa League. There is no other choice but to cling to the second European competition and for this the rojiblancos need to win in Porto or wait for the result in Leverkusen. Surely no one in the Metropolitan wants to have to look at Germany.

How different this last group game compared to last year. Porto again and again with the classification at stake, but this time to be third and secure a place in Europe. The Portuguese, on the other hand, will continue in the Champions League and their round of 16 matchup will depend on what happens this afternoon in Do Dragao and in Leverkusen. Those from Conceinçao reach the last day with options to be first in the group. To achieve this, it is worth making one more point than Bruges do in Germany. Who would have thought after showing up on matchday 2 with zero points.

Back to Atletico Simeone’s men reach the Porto final with their tongues hanging out. Three two blows like Leverkusen and Cádiz, they have no choice but to react and pull gallons to continue competing in Europe. It is not an economic issue, it is also a matter of pride. A team like the rojiblanco cannot allow themselves to be knocked out of European competitions in the month of November and even less in a group in which they started as the main favourite. However, his numbers in the Champions League do not invite optimism. A single win in five games. Precisely against Porto on a crazy night at the Metropolitano. It’s time to repeat.

Koke, Lemar and Llorente will watch the game again from the television. None of the three arrived on time for this afternoon’s duel and Simeone will have to return to shooting in the center of the field with the few means available. But there is no time for regrets, this starts in less than two hours and it is Atlético’s turn to show their faces in a stadium that brings back good memories. Europe, even in the second competition, is at stake. And that is reason enough for a team that, if defeated, would bottom out emotionally this season. We have seen worse things, with no more time to lose, we start the great game that closes the red and white participation in the Champions League.
