Atlético Madrid start Champions League with epic comeback
Atlético Madrid started their journey in the new Champions League with a victory (2-1) against Leipzig at the Metropolitano. Diego Simeone had warned that draws were not enough in this edition and that teams needed to win.
And so did his team, coming back thanks to a header from José María Giménez in stoppage time. The game was marked by the intensity and the frenetic pace of the German team, who took the lead in the first minutes.
However, Atlético knew how to keep calm and grow in the game, pressing high and creating dangerous chances. Griezmann scored the equalizer and Giménez the winning goal in stoppage time, giving a good start to Cholo’s men in the competition.
