This is interesting from Real Madrid’s opening goalscorer, Rodrygo. Speaking to Uefa, the forward said Atletico Madrid surprised them in the first half:
💬 “It’s always hard against Atleti but they surprised us a little today. When we play them here, it’s almost all us attacking, them defending and us needing to watch for counters.
“Today, they had the ball a lot more than usual and we weren’t accustomed to playing them like that. But in the second half we ‘reset’ and did well.
“That goal from Brahim Diaz sends us into next week pretty happy. If we do our work well and we’re concentrated, we can go through.”
