Istanbul/Baku – Atletico Madrid failed to get past a 1-1 draw at Galatasaray Istanbul in the race for a direct round of 16 ticket in the Champions League on Wednesday. The 2014 and 2016 finalists took the lead with a header from coach’s son Giuliano Simeone (4th), but Marcos Llorente maneuvered a cross pass from Galatasaray’s Roland Sallai into his own goal to equalize (20th). Atletico has to worry about a top 8 place with one round before the end of the league phase.
