The Brazilian striker scored two goals in ten minutes, just as the Portuguese side tried to react to turn the key. The 3-3 draw, taking advantage of the advantage obtained in the first leg (1-3) places them in the semi-finals. The English will face the surprising Villarreal.
The Champions League was not only played in Madrid on Wednesday. He also had an interesting game in England, between Liverpool and Benfica, but it didn’t have as many lights as the one between Atlético and City, because the key seemed defined in the first leg (1-3 won by the English). The 3-3 draw in the duel played on Wednesday ended up deciding the key in favor of the English.

And we say to ourselves that he could change it, because eight minutes later Ibrahima Konaté opened the account for the locals, with an unattainable header after a corner served by Konstantinos Tsimikas.
However, those in Lisbon were not going to give up and although the task seemed daunting, He continued to look for a discount and he came on in the 32nd minute, with a shot from Gonçalo Ramos. So they went to rest and a second high intensity game was expected.
The hosts weren’t ready for surprises or epic days, so they looked to kill the game early on in the add-on. And to some extent they succeeded, because Roberto Firmino received a pass from Diogo Jota and with a powerful shot from the right he made it 2-1 and secured a place in the top four of the European tournament (55′).

Anything else about the tour? Roman Yaremchuk (73′) and Darwin Núñez (81) tied, but everything was already written in the England city and now coach Jürgen Klopp is pondering how to face the surprising Villarreal, who have not lost a direct touch since that Unai Emery is on the bench of the yellow submarine.
