For this passive substitution, some people felt afterwards that if Moya had not been injured, the result might have been completely different.

It is true that Moya is very good, and his attack anticipation and long ball ability are at the top level.

But Oblak is no worse either, and he is more youthful and energetic, although Oblak is a little bit lower, but he has the talent to definitely become a great first-class goalkeeper in the future.

In fact, this is not the first time that Jose and Oblak have fought in the air.

Just last year's Europa League semi-finals, Jose played against him.

That time, it was José who had the last laugh.

The game continues.

The scramble on the field is still fierce.

Until the 27th minute, the situation on the field changed abruptly.

Carney tried to break through with the ball on the right side of the pitch, and Sparšić tackled him directly from behind.

Carney fell to the ground on the spot.

Referee Rizzoli showed the first yellow card of the game.

As a result, Spašić will be suspended for one game.

Atletico were awarded a free-kick on the right side of the ribs.

The penalty spot was more than 35 yards from the goal, and a direct shot was impossible.

Even so, Atletico's players are not going to give up the set-piece opportunity easily.

I saw several Atletico Madrid players gathered around to discuss countermeasures.

Bayer Leverkusen's players, on the other hand, were a bit unimpressed, neither actively lining up the wall nor allocating personnel to protect the penalty area.

Although Jose faintly felt uneasy, he didn't think much about it, after all, at a distance of 35 yards, even if Carlos came to take the penalty, he would have enough time to react.

So José didn't say anything to remind him.

It's just that, a minute later, Jose has a sense of regret.

After deliberation among the Atletico players, it was decided that Koke would be in charge of the free-kick opportunity.

Straight into the box.

Unfortunately, Coke's pass was unthreatening and was directly blocked by the pharmaceutical player.

The ball that flew out of the penalty area was still under Atletico's control.

Carney topped the second drop point.

On the right edge of the box, Carney's header was deflected over to the other side.

The ball fell at the feet of Mario Suarez.

On the edge of the box, Mario Suarez fired a powerful left-footed shot.

The ball flew straight towards the near post.

As soon as Jose saw it, he quickly moved towards the left side of the goal.

At this time, there was still chaos in the small penalty area, and the players who had just fought for the free kick had not had time to come out.

In the panic, Toprak stretched out his foot to block, and he tried to block the opponent's shot.

Something that makes people sigh happens.

Toprak couldn't keep out the shot and the ball changed course and rolled towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

By this time, Jose had already reached the left side of the goal, and it was absolutely impossible for him to rush to the right side to make a save.

And just like that, Mario Suarez's shot, after being refracted through the bottom right corner of the goal, rolled into the goal.

Atletico led 1-0 at home and drew 1-1 on aggregate.

And the most uncomfortable thing for pharmaceutical fans is that Mario Suarez's shot on goal is the first shot on target for both sides in this game.

José became the "regent" at this moment?

Of course not, luck is the key for this kind of refracting ball, and Jose is precisely the unlucky side.

As for Toprak, the blame cannot be placed on him either, as a centre-back, it is the right thing to do in the face of the opposition's shot and reach out to block it.

Just to his surprise, he failed to block the opponent's shot, but changed the direction of the opponent's shot.

That's the beauty of football.

Sometimes, a person who is unlucky gets scored.

Either way, the two sides are now back on the same page.

After tying the aggregate score, Atletico began to become more imposing.

The scramble between the two sides has also become more intense.

Jose Jimenez tackled Son Heungchou and received the second yellow card of the game.

Mandzukic injured his ankle in the scramble and was forced to seek treatment on the sidelines.

Of course, in addition to the intense scenes, there are also interesting things happening.

In the 40th minute, Mandzukic's shot was directly confiscated by Jose.

Aiming at the front of the field, there was no quick counter-attack.

Jose had no choice but to cancel his intention to take a quick goal kick.

Holding the ball in both hands, he squeezed it a little harder.

"Huh? Why is the air pressure of this ball so low? Jose noticed that the ball in his hand was clearly not elastic.

Putting the ball to his ear, José heard an extremely faint sizzling sound.

"The ball is leaking." Jose immediately raised his hand to the referee.

For a heavyweight game like the Champions League, every football used is carefully selected and tested, how can there be a leak?

The home fans immediately booed.

They all believe that José is deliberately stalling for time.

Jose's performance from the penalty spot, as unbelievable as it was, was the truth.

Therefore, fans will inevitably think that Jose is trying to drag the game into a penalty shootout.

Although the referee Rizzoli also had this doubt, he still walked up to Jose and took the ball from Jose's hand.

"It's really leaking." After Rizzoli's inspection, he immediately asked the staff to replace the match ball.

The brief interlude passed quickly.

This shows that even if the odds are small, it can happen.

At the end of the first half, the score on the field was still 1-0, while the aggregate score was 1-1.

Who will get the ticket to the top 8 will be decided by the second half of the game.

Interestingly, in the first half of the hand-to-hand combat, Atletico only committed one foul, compared to 10 for Bayer Leverkusen.

Only fans familiar with Schmidt's coaching style will feel that this is a normal performance.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Simeone made the first substitution, but he replaced Carney instead of Mandzukic, who suffered an ankle injury.

In terms of first-half performance, Carney set up Mario Suarez to score, but for most of the time, he didn't have much to do in the face of Hilbert's defensive interception.

Carney was replaced by Garcia.

In addition, Atletico captain Gabi and Fernando Torres have both begun to warm up on the sidelines and are ready to make their debuts.

The scene is still intense, and the number of shots on goal is still very few, and the shot that hits the target is even more rare.

In the 46th minute, Bender made a successful steal at the back.

Directly passed to the side, and the ball reached the feet of Sun Xingchou.

Son Xingchou advanced with the ball and in the blink of an eye reached the left side of the Atletico penalty area.

In the face of the combined interception of Turan and Juanfran, Son Xingchou could not break through and had no chance to cross.

Sun Xingchou could only pass back to Wendell behind him.

Wendell took the ball and cut inside laterally, first past Koke's interception, and then through the ball into the middle of the box.

Bellaraby takes the ball and shoots straight at goal.

The ball bounced off the ground and flew to the left in the centre of the goal.

Oblak was in the same position at this point and didn't need to move at all, Oblak just jumped lightly and had already confiscated Bellabi's shot.

Bellarabi's shot was Bayer Leverkusen's most dangerous shot so far.

Oblak kicked in goal and Atletico began to counter-attack.

Turan dribbled the ball wide and tried to cut inside to pass, only to be brought to the ground by Toprak.

Toprak is booked.

Atletico were awarded another free-kick opportunity.

This time, José didn't take it any further.

After arranging the human wall, Jose then instructed the two players to stand outside the penalty area so that they could compete for the second landing point at any time.

Cork shoots from a direct free-kick.

The ball was fast and the angle was good, but Jose had predicted it.

One leaps up and blocks the opponent's shot with one hand.

The blocked ball was grabbed by Bender, without any drag, and the ball was cleared out of the penalty area with a big foot.

Once again, the battle between the two sides in midfield began.

In the 69th minute, Schmidt began to make substitutions.

Kiessling came off the bench to replace Dermic.

In this game, Dermic was completely submerged in the opponent's backline. He played 69 minutes without a pass, without a shot or even a threatening pass.

Two minutes later, Kiessling won the ball on the right flank.

Gamez intercepted it.

Just as Kiessling dunked Gamez and was about to burst into the box, Gamez decisively used a tactical foul.

Gamès also got a Topaz card.

Bayer Leverkusen's free-kick didn't pose much of a threat.

The competition was more intense than exciting.

If it weren't for the fierce battle between the two sides on the field, Jose and Oblak would have almost fallen asleep.

Schmidt knew that the chances of defeating the opponent through athletic warfare were too slim, so he made decisive adjustments.

Rolfes came off the bench, while Son Heung-chou was substituted.

Adding a defensive midfielder and removing an attacking player, Schmidt's intentions are all too obvious.

In the 80th minute, Atletico had a chance to attack the pharmaceutical factory penalty area.

Antoine Griezmann wins the ball on the left side of the box.

Hilbert intercepted it.

Antoine Griezmann didn't have a chance to cross and had to choose to pass back behind him.

The ball is at Turan's feet.

From 15 yards on the left side of the penalty area, Turan kicked the ball into goal.

In the face of Turan's shot, Jose was prepared.

Jose leapt to his feet and smashed the ball out with a single fist, before being cleared out of the box by Sparšić.

It was Atletico's second shot on target of the game.

Is this the level of the Champions League?

Only fans who watched the game throughout the game knew how intense the game was.

With about ten minutes left before the end of the 90-minute game, Simeone began to make substitutions.

Mandzukic was substituted and Fernando Torres came off the bench.

In the 85th minute, Torres received a pass from a teammate and fired a left-footed shot from 12 yards in the box.

José sank and used his body to block Torres' shot.

It was Atletico's third shot on target of the game.

Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, have only one shot on goal so far.

In the end, within 90 minutes, the aggregate score was still 1-1.

The two sides went into extra time.

According to the data, this is the 14th time that Atletico have gone to extra-time in European competition, behind only Ajax (15) and Barcelona (16), while Bayer Leverkusen is the fourth.

In the first half of extra time, Kiessling finally completed his team's second shot in the goal, but unfortunately the angle of the shot was not well controlled and was directly confiscated by Oblak.

In the 102nd minute, Kiessling expressed his displeasure after being whistled for a foul, and referee Rizzoli showed his eighth yellow card.

This shows how fierce the competition is.
