Despite playing away, Atletico quickly demonstrated the resilience of a team that has participated in the Champions League for 14 consecutive seasons under Diego Simeone. In the 17th minute, Julian Alvarez received the ball on the left and passed it through the middle to Llorente, who was making a run. The Spanish midfielder bypassed Milos Kerkez before chipping the ball over Alisson, opening the scoring for the visitors.
