Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich Champions League highlights: Muller denies easy progress

A victory against defending European champions Bayern Munich could have meant Atletico Madrid were in the final 16 of the competition. It was indeed a difficult task for Diego Simeone, who had to cope in the absence of Luis Suarez and Diego Costa. Joao Felix rose on the occasion to help bag the lead in the first half.

But, Bayern superstar Thomas Muller denied an easy way out for the Wanda Metropolitano outfit. Felipe brought down the German midfielder inside the penalty box, following which a spot-kick was awarded late in the game. And Muller made no mistake from the spot.

As per the Champions League fixtures, Rojiblancos need a victory against RB Salzburg in the final matchday to progress ahead. Interestingly, RB Salzburg avoided being knocked out of the competition when they came up against Lokomotiv Moscow, defeating the hosts 3-1.
