Despite missing key players such as Vinícius Junior, who picked an injury in the warmup and didn’t appear in the match, Los Blancos secured the lead after Brahim Diaz scored in the 20th minute, and it seemed that they would win, but in the extra time, Marcos Llorente scored in the 93rd minute after Memphis Depay’s assist and both sides shared the points.
