On penalties, after a tremendous effort, after equalizing the tie in the 87th minute with a goal from Memphis Depay, the Atlético de Madrid endured extra time and beat Inter on penalties to complete the comeback and qualify for the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
On the ninth shot, Argentine striker Lautaro Martínez, Inter's scorer, sent his right hand through the clouds to put an end to an exciting series, in which the red and white team perhaps deserved more during regulation time.
The match, beyond its emotion until the end, was marked by a controversial attack by the Inter player Marcus Thuram.
Thuram surprised everyone when, to get rid of Savic's mark, he grabbed Savic's testicles. Savic ended up writhing on the ground.

However, the referee of the duel, the Polish Marciniak, did not punish the action, nor did the VAR decide to intervene, since he did not consider it an attack.
The two players were even seen later ingratiating themselves and laughing about what happened.
In any case, the action exploded on social networks, where the memorable anecdote was recalled when the soccer player Míchel touched the Colombian's private parts. Carlos Valderrama.
