On a night in which Diego Simeone mourned the loss of his former teammate and compatriot Diego Maradona, Atlético Madrid missed the chance to score a point in the knockout phase of the Champions League after a 0-0 draw with Lokomotiv Moscow to approach on Wednesday.

There was a moment of silence ahead of the game in honor of Maradona, the former Argentine who had died the previous Wednesday. His picture was shown in the moment of silence on the big screen in the Metropolitano.

« It’s hard, » said Simeone, who was Maradona’s team-mate at Spanish club Sevilla in the early 1990s. “For all of us who have shared Diego experiences, we are losing a myth. We grew up with Diego, he was our guide in football. It hurts. He took care of me personally. He’ll still be on the soccer fields. He was and is the best in the world. ”

Atlético’s second straight draw against Lokomotiv brought Simeone’s team five points from four games in Group A. . It is two points ahead of the winless locomotive and seven points behind defending champions Bayern Munich, who remained in the lead with 12 points after their 3-1 home win against Salzburg.

« We are upset, » said Atlético captain Jorge « Koke » Resurrección. « We tried everything but couldn’t win. In the Champions League you need the three points to move forward. « . ”

Atlético got off to a good start at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium and opened up several scoring chances early in the first half. Over time, however, Lokomotiv became more defensively organized and even threatened counterattacks a few times.

« We started with a lot of intensity and could have scored in the first 20 minutes, » said Simeone. “But over time it got difficult. We fought a bit in the Champions League. Hopefully we can change things in the next game. ”

Atlético came closest when Cooke’s goal in 68. Minute after a video review was not sidelined. Defender Stefan Savic later missed the open net with a lob that never made it to goal, and José María Giménez’s header in the 88. Minute went just past the post.

« The ball just wouldn’t go in, » said Koke. “We have to improve our game to win these games. ”

The draw on Wednesday extended Atlético’s undefeated streak at home to 20 games. A group stage loss to Chelsea in 2017 was the only loss in the last 28 home games in Europe.

Atlético was without striker Luis Suárez and midfielder Lucas Torreira, who recently tested positive for COVID-19 with the Uruguayan national team. Simeone couldn’t rely on striker Diego Costa either, as a blood clot was discovered on his right leg on Wednesday, an illness that could keep the Brazilian-born player out for several weeks.

Simeone used Ángel Correa in attack alongside Portuguese striker João Félix, but could not trigger the team’s attack.

Atlético have five straight wins in the Spanish league, including a 1-0 home win over Barcelona at the Metropolitano on Saturday.

« We played well in the league, we played well, but we have to win these games in the Champions League, » said Koke after his 100th. Appearance in Europe, the greatest of all players in Atlético history.
