Bakker celebrated Carrasco's miss in front of him!

Football has been very unfair on many occasions. What happened to Carrasco against Bayer Leverkusen was yet another milestone in the injustices that Cholo's side have suffered on a regular basis since the Argentine has been at the helm. 

The penalty missed by Juanfran in the Champions League final against Real Madrid, the one missed by Antoine Griezmann in the same match, the chances that Simeone had to win the Champions League... Whatever it was, Atletico still haven't won Europe's top competition and will continue to fail to do so, at least for another season.

When Carrasco missed the penalty, Mitchell Bakker went for the Belgian and celebrated in front of the Atletico Madrid winger. A very ugly and unpleasant gesture to which the local player did not even react, shocked by what that miss meant. 

In previous actions in which he was involved, this one was much worse. In fact, last season he was banned for tackling a Porto player in the round of 16, which led to a three-match ban.
