The game continues.

Atletico Madrid, which escaped the disaster, launched a quick counterattack in the 53rd minute.

Diego Costa used his personal ability to go straight in the middle, but Mikel and Henderson's double-team stranglehold could not stop Diego Costa at all.

Henderson, on the other hand, is soft and does not have the temperament of a beast-waisted sweeper.

Diego Costa dribbled the ball and passed people continuously. After showing his superb passing skills, he pretended to pass the ball, but the next second he suddenly swayed and took a long shot to hit the goal!
