Atlético had to beat Lokomotiv to guarantee their presence in the last 16 of the Champions League and it couldn't start any better.
In the first minute of the match, Joao Félix won a penalty much to the delight of the Wanda.
As soon as the penalty was given, Kieran Trippier decided to take responsibility as he had been the best Atlético player taking penalties in training during the week.
He took the ball and stepped up, but Kochenkov and the post managed to keep the ball out.
The Russian outfit's goalkeeper wasn't on his line when Trippier hit the ball, something which according to the rules should have been a retake.
