In the first leg of the Champions League last 16, Real Madrid edged past Atletico Madrid 2-1 thanks to goals from Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz. Despite Atletico's efforts to regain control after an early deficit, they ultimately fell short. Diego Simeone acknowledged the long battle ahead, signifying that the tie will not be settled until the second leg. The match showcased dynamic plays and tension, with opportunities for both sides, serving as a prelude to an anticipated and potentially explosive second match next week.
Rodrygo, Julian Alvarez and Brahim Diaz all stepped inside to bend the ball beyond outstretched fingers and into the far corner, delivering a victory for Real Madrid.
Diego Simeone may feel frustrated that long periods of control did not result in a win, as his team recovered to draw level before ultimately losing.
