Coming out into the half, Atlético brought on Thomas Lemar and João Félix in attempts to spark the attack and the Portuguese winger, in particular, troubled the hosts. But despite Atlético’s positive spell, the hosts would again hit on the counter with Marco Asensio’s curling effort rolling into the net for 2-0
The visitors had a few opportunities to turn the match on its head but chances from Luis Suárez and company couldn’t get past Courtois. With the result, leaders Real Madrid hold a 13-point gap over fourth-place Atleti.
