An 11 minute goal by Saul Niguez decided the first leg in the semi final match in favour of Atletico Madrid.
Bayern responded most especially in the second half, pounding the
Atletico defence ceaselessly, but there was no chance for an equaliser.
The German team’s efforts showed in the statistics: 71% of
possession to their hosts 29, seven shots on target to their hosts 5 and
nine shots off target to Atletico’s 2. Bayern’s desperation for an
equaliser also reflected in the anxiety of their players playing rough.
Three of them, Mehdi Benatia, Arturo vidal and the goalkeeper, manuel
Neuer were booked between 82nd and 88th minute of the thrilling game.
The second leg will take place in Munich on next Tuesday.
