Atletico dominated against Borussia and led 2:0 for a long time, with a bit of luck there could have been three or four points for Diego Simeone's team...
The "Millionaires", however, showed that they were not lost among the eight best in Europe - they reached 2:1, and in stoppage time they had a great chance through Julian Brant to draw a draw.
All this is a big warning for the team of Montenegrin ace Stefan Savić (if he gets a yellow card, he would not play in the first match of the semi-finals), which was announced from the first minute tonight in the second leg at "Signal Iduna Park".
In any case, the Montenegrin representative has the opportunity to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League for the second time in his career. In 2016, he almost went all the way with Atlético - Real was better in the final after a penalty shootout.
However, Wembley is far away, still, Atlético has to survive the "hell" of the Dortmund stadium.
- We played brilliantly for 70 minutes, and then it was realistic that our rhythm dropped a bit. A moment of inattention cost us dearly at the goal for 2:1 and later we were lucky - admitted Simeone.
The fans were the trump card of the "colćoneros" in the first game, now they are on the side of Borussia.
- I am not worried, although the result is not ideal after the first 90 minutes. I think we have enough quality to cause damage to Borussia - the Argentine is clear.
And Borussia coach Edin Terzić knows what his team must not allow.
- We have to be ready for the opponents' traps. We paid for two mistakes in the first game, now we have to respond differently.
The German team will be weakened, the goal scorer in Madrid, Sebastian Ale, will be absent.
- He has problems with his ankle and must rest for at least seven days - said Terzic.
