In typical Atletico Madrid’s head coach Diego Simeone style, his team defended the lead and thought they secured the 3 points in the Champions League opener this season, but something that can’t be seen every day happened when Provedel rescued his club as the Lazio’s goalkeeper became the 4th keeper to net in the Champions League’s history.
