Atletico de Madrid had the chance to equalize the score for the 1 -1 in the 46th minute. Referee giving a penalty to Atletico conceded by Real Madrid defender Pepe after a foul on Atletico Madrid forward Fernando Torres. Real Madrid goalkeeper gets a yellow card. Things complicated for Atletico because Antoine Griezmann failed to convert the penalty after his left footed shot hits the bar. Incredible. Something not easy to digest.
