Morata opened up a catalog of horrors and the defense did the rest
ANDl Sports was caught up in the atmosphere Signal Iduna Park and with the help of a harness Borussia Dortmund in the first part. Back to the beginning Mora He forgave a very clear scoring opportunity as soon as he started. However, after the break he gave his all to the opposition defense and drew the game until the Germans once again scored two goals in the blink of an eye.
Two early stops to stem the German storm at the start, but then it looked like they could have done much more with Dortmund’s opening goal. Although he was also surprised in the fourth round after being covered by Sabitzer, he still made a save from Fullkrug and another from Sabitzer at 4-2 to keep the Red and Whites’ hopes alive.
FINAL RATING: 5
He started with a couple of crosses early in the match but was hit hard at the back after Dortmund spent all their attacks on his flank. He also had no help and often found himself in two-on-one situations.
FINAL RATING: 4
His safety and intelligence looked set to carry Atlético through the early German attacks until he showed a lack of pace to cope with Brandt in a 1-0 win. He was not pleased to return to his home and suffered greatly in almost all local approaches.
FINAL RATING: 4
It is very safe to stop the first German attacks in a couple of crossings, but they will be a mirage, since little by little there will be fewer of them. He did not have time to block Maatsen’s shot when the score was 2:0 and throughout the game, like all central defenders, he behaved very softly.
FINAL RATING: 4
Some dangerous turnover when the ball was released only to be booked in the 45th minute for a foul so serious and avoidable that it would have seen him miss the first leg of a hypothetical semi-final. Although he headed the corner, which, thanks to the help of Hummels, led to the score 1-2, he also failed to defeat the German forwards.
FINAL RATING: 4
Providencial avoided a goal in the 3rd minute by Sabitzer after he dived at his feet and intercepted his shot into the small area. Half an hour later I received a reprimand for excessive braking. Despite this, he was one of the few to show any self-respect in the first half.
FINAL SCORE: 6
He tried to calm down and organize Atlético’s early efforts, but the German momentum also overcame him in the first half, especially at the start of the game 2-0. After the break he again commanded the red and white’s best moments of reaction, providing a delightful assist to Correa which the Argentine failed to complete but was again late to block Dortmund’s fourth goal.
FINAL RATING: 4
Despite his physical performance, he was unable to withstand Dortmund’s pressure or help Molina, who he left alone in the first half. Much better when he played as a striker, which coincided with a comeback attempt in the second half.
FINAL RATING: 4
A good shot to test Male in the early stages, showing some personality to ask for the ball. However, he also thinned himself before the break to restore his pecking order after going through the dressing room… as long as his physical condition lasts.
FINAL RATING: 5
Every time he entered the game, he silenced Signal Iduna Park and explained Atlético’s situation. The problem is that he did it very slowly. Since it couldn’t be otherwise, he took the corner that made the score 1:2 and re-entered the game early in the second half. However, in the last stretch he disappeared.
FINAL RATING: 4
He had a great chance to break the drought four minutes into his one-on-one with Male, but incredibly missed the mark. A mistake that pays dearly in the Champions League.
FINAL RATING: 4
He came on for Azpilicueta at half-time and became a nightmare for Dortmund due to his speed and overcrowding. After a shot that was saved by Kobel, Correa made it 2-2.
FINAL SCORE: 6
He came on for Mora at the break and already in the first minute he went into the penalty area and made a cross, but did not find the goal. He had a one-on-one opportunity after a superb turn from Koke’s pass, but he adjusted his shot too much. However, his first 20 minutes were memorable as he sealed the tie by sending the ball into the box in an unlikely position after Hummels had saved his first shot.
FINAL SCORE: 6
He replaced Molina at half-time, brought Llorente into the lane and energized the midfield from the start. He distributed himself, joined the attack and burst into defense with the overwhelming personality of a top player. He re-established himself on the stage, which he had already conquered in his youth.
FINAL SCORE: 6
He replaced De Paul in the 83rd minute but made no impact.
FINAL RATING: 4
Even though he knew Dortmund were going to try their best, he did not give up the goal to undermine the local team, but Mora’s mistake ruined the plan. At half-time, he made a triple substitution that brought Atlético back to life. However, defensive weakness would ultimately condemn him.
FINAL RATING: 5
