Let’s see how these two spectacular matches went.

📌 ATLETICO-TOTTENHAM

Atletico runs rampant without brakes: they finish the first half with four goals and add another in the second half. The job seems almost done for Cholo, even though Pedro Porro’s goal in the 26th minute leaves a tiny crack open for Tudor’s team, who, after such a night, sees his future on the Spurs’ bench hanging by a thread. In the second half, two more goals are scored, sealing the result at 5-2.

😱 TOTAL disaster for Kinsky: tears and out after 15'

6' and 15' – It was supposed to be his crowning night, but instead it quickly turns into a nightmare for Antonín Kinský, almost mirroring the ordeal Loris Karius experienced in the 2018 Liverpool vs Real Madrid final.

Thrown in as a surprise starter instead of Vicario, the goalkeeper, with a poor clearance in the sixth minute, gifts the ball to Atletico, and Marcos Llorente immediately finds the 1-0 goal. Shortly after, another decisive episode: Van de Ven slips in unfortunate fashion, opening the field for Griezmann, who takes advantage to double the lead. But just 60 seconds later, the incredible happens.

Another back pass to Kinsky, who completely mishits the ball and essentially gives it to Julian Alvarez.

The goalkeeper, completely devastated, is immediately substituted by Tudor to make way for Vicario, and heads back to the locker room in tears, comforted by a staff member.

😳 Fans immediately leave the Metropolitano

📌 NEWCASTLE-BARCELONA

A very tense match at St. James Park, where the first half ends 0-0. In the second half, the balance remains almost unchanged, with the home side raising their level and seeing a goal by Joelinton disallowed, after he put in a rebound off the post from a Barnes shot. Then, the two goals, scored by Barnes himself and Yamal.

🤯 Araujo keeps everyone onside and Barca concedes!

Newcastle’s goal comes from Barnes, but the situation is peculiar. Araujo refuses to immediately return to his right-back position and stays to argue with the referee about an incident that happened about twenty seconds earlier. At that very moment, a cross comes in from his area of responsibility and Newcastle takes advantage to score.

The situation becomes clear shortly after: the defender had stayed behind Newcastle’s goal because he was seeking assistance for a physical problem directly on the pitch. However, the referee does not allow him to return immediately and, while the Magpies score, Araujo is still late getting back into position, forcing Raphinha to temporarily fill in as right-back.

😱 Thiaw commits a penalty at the death: Yamal makes it 1-1

Just as the match was about to end, Thiaw makes a huge blunder, fouling Dani Olmo and conceding a sensational penalty to the Blaugrana. From the spot, Yamal is ice-cold and allows Barcelona to snatch a precious draw ahead of the return leg.
