Atletico had the first clear chance on 18 minutes when Koke sent Griezmann through. He only had Courtois to beat but Courtois made sure there was a lot of him to beat, standing tall and blocking the goal-bound shot with his head.Saul then scythed down Gareth Bale as he tried to get away wide left and the Atletico midfielder was lucky not to be booked.

Bale almost took revenge by scoring the first of the game. Toni Kroos swung a deep free-kick to the back post but the Welshman’s left-foot volley went wide.The temperature was turned up a notch when Dani Carvajal was booked for taking the ball off of Koke and taking a chunk of Koke too. Casemiro then appeared to handle in the area but the referee waved away the claims for a spot kick. Meanwhile Ramos’ wound was reopening and he was ordered off to clean up his cut head.
