The game was also marked by a 20-minute stoppage due to objects thrown onto the field by Atlético fans.

Without Mbappé, Real Madrid invested even more in Vinícius Júnior, who had a standout performance for the left side. In the first half, the former Flamengo proved to be the team's main offensive weapon, creating good opportunities, such as in the 35th minute , when he dribbled past De Paul and crossed to Bellingham, who finished dangerously.

The players went to the locker rooms, and there was an announcement that the game could be suspended. After 20 minutes, the confrontation was restarted.

Real Madrid's victory seemed certain, but, with five minutes remaining, Ángel Romero received a ball behind the defense, won the physical contest and shared with Courtois to score the equalizer, ensuring the final score 1-1.

"I think he also regrets it, you can see from his reaction. He has been hanging for 24 games. He is a guy who holds well. I'm sure he would like it very much. Without him, we have to find another solution. Whether with another piece or in another system, we have to find solutions within the squad, said the coach in a press conference this Sunday (29).< /p>
