"Jose Maria Gimenez netted a 93rd-minute winner as Atletico Madrid sealed a narrow 2-1 victory over Inter in the Champions League on Wednesday. Atletico made a fast start at the Metropolitano, courtesy of another goal from talisman Julian Alvarez, who poked into the far corner from a tight angle off the right nine minutes in. The goal was initially ruled out for handball before being awarded following a VAR review."
"Atletico survived a major scare a minute after the restart when Nicolo Barella's close-range lob clipped the top of the crossbar. The Nerazzurri finally hit back in the 54th minute, as substitute Ange-Yoan Bonny teed up Piotr Zielinski, who strode onto the ball and swept a clinical first-time finish into the bottom-right corner. As it so often has this season, Antoine Griezmann's late introduction sparked Atleti to life as the Frenchman forced a stretching save from Yann Sommer from point-blank range."
