Atlético Madrid play Chelsea in the Champions League… in Bucharest, due to the covid-19 pandemic. Alfredo Relaño looks at Simeone’s side ahead of the tie.

Zidane capped a happy week as his team sealed a comfortable victory over Atlético, one which allowed them to reduce the distance at the top of the table, writes Alfredo Relaño.

Scoring goals breeds confidence and so when the goals dry up, the team is weakened. That was the root of Real Madrid's problems against Shakhtar, writes Alfredo Relaño.

Real Madrid's win over Inter certainly makes the group table easier reading and also covers some of the cracks following the home defeat to Shakhtar.

AS columnist Alfredo Relaño says that Benzema is within his right to feel frustrated about Vinicius' game. But the Frenchman's actions the other day were out of order.

Losing 2-0 with minutes remaining, Sergio Ramos, Raphaël Varane and Casemiro joined the attack to carve out a draw that keeps Madrid in the running.

While barcelonismo keep the bellows chugging away on the embers of the Lenglet penalty affair, the Champions League is back, writes Alfredo Relaño.
