Penalties still fatal for Atletico: Real Madrid goes to the quarters
Aletico Madrid-Real Madrid 3-4 d.c.r.
Real Madrid beats Atletico Madrid on penalty kicks and flies to the Champions League quarterfinals. The Madrid Euroderby once again goes to the Blancos, who did not shine at the ‘Metropolitano’ and went down after just a minute. In the second half, Ancelotti’s men have a chance to equalize but Vinicius sends in the stars from the penalty spot. By virtue of the 2-1 in the first leg in favor of the Merengues, it thus goes to extra time and then to penalties, once again fatal to the Colchoneros after those in the 2016 San Siro final.
Atletico got off to a strong start and after only 27 seconds è already took the lead: De Paul’s low cross from the right and Gallagher’s winning kick on a slide. On 20’ Alvarez tried from the distance but his right foot è out of reach. Five minutes later è again the former City to make himself dangerous but Courtois is ready.The duel between the Argentine striker and the Belgian goalkeeper continues between the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half but to come out the winner è again Courtois.
At 60’ Lenglet tries a header but his attempt ends just wide. At 68’ the episode that can change the game: Mbappé goes away in slalom and is landed in the box by Lenglet, earning a penalty kick. on the penalty spot Vinicius comes up and clumsily kicks high. On 71’ Simeone tries but Courtois è careful. In the final Correa also tried but he kicked high and so it went to extra themes
.
In the first overtime the first to try è Brahim Diaz but his shot è easy prey to Oblak. In 98’ Sorloth missed the appointment with the ball on a nice invitation from Barrios. In the second half it was the Blancos who pushed but without ever really making themselves dangerous: so it went to penalty kicks.
After goals from the penalty spot by Mbappé, Sorloth and Bellingham, the fourth penalty kicked and converted by Alvarez, but it was annulled by Var for a double touch. Lucas Vazquez gets hypnotized by Oblak putting the Colchoneros back in the game but Llorente kicks over the crossbar and Rudiger does not forgive, sending the Merengues to the quarterfinals where they will take on Arsenal.

Matteo Berrettini/Lorenzo Sonego-Marcelo Arevalo/Mate Pavic 6-7 4-6
Matteo Berrettini’s and Lorenzo Sonego’s adventure in the men's doubles tournament at the Indian Wells Masters 1000 stopped in the quarterfinals. The Italian pair è surrendered in two sets to seeding favorites Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic who won with a final score of 7-6 6-4 after an hour and 37 minutes of play.
A few regrets for Berrettini and Sonego especially in the first partial, in which they went down by a break (2-4) due to a mocking tape, and, after recovering (5-5), missed two consecutive set-points in the tie-break before surrendering by 8 points to 6.
In the second set what made the difference è was a single break, scratched by the number one seeded pair in the seventh game thanks to a great response by Arevalo (4-3). The Salvadoran and Croatian held the break advantage until the final 6-4 with which they qualified for the semifinals of the ‘BNP Paribas Open’.
That leaves only Jasmine Paolini to represent Italy in the Masters 1000 in California: the Tuscan will challenge Russian Liudmila Samsonova, No. 25 in the WTA rankings, for a place in the quarterfinals.
