On Tuesday, we saw a very rare decision for a Champions League match, when Lazio’s goalkeeper Ivan Provedel rose to the top in the extra time given by the referee in a corner kick situation.
The away team Atlético couldn’t get the ball down properly, so Luis Alberto sent a strong curling cross and Provedel headed the ball nicely past his colleague Jan Oblak’s.

Álvarez tried to center the ball to the back post, and the goalkeeper ended up punching the ball into wider waters. However, he made a complete noise from the game tool and just gently guided it into his own net.

Tuesday’s clearest winner was Barcelona, who scored no fewer than five goals in Royal Antwerp’s net. Head coach of the Belgian team Mark van Bommel is a Barça pilot Xavi an old playing friend, but the friendship did not soften the Catalan giant’s attitude.
Joao Felix was the home team’s hero with two goals. The match was also the debut of Barcelona’s old Olympic Stadium in the Champions League.
