Just get your body in the way.

So what do we say at half-time?

You want a response from...

Real Madrid, he has the pass.

Straight into Valverde, he spots it.

It's not actually a challenge from him.

He's trying to play a pass.

He's trying to play a pass to one of his teammates.

And listen, Valverde, he's the man at the moment, isn't he?

He's getting forward, he's making great runs, he's getting on the end of things, his finishing has been top draw.

You give these players

opportunities and they're going to take it and that's what real madrid did we talk about at halftime inspiring the crowd well atleti allowed real madrid to inspire the crowd because they made mistakes real took full advantage of it and the crowd got behind them and that's why it was such a good second half and to that point luis it was interesting also when molina scored you kind of thought

You could just feel it, and I'm sure obviously you could at the stadium.

The fact that everyone just kind of went, uh-oh, you know, this is trouble now because we have to win this tie.

But the response and the character that we saw from Real Madrid, obviously Vinicius Junior scoring so soon after that, has given, I'm sure, them more hope when it looks at the title race as a whole.

It's all about momentum now for Real Madrid.

That's five on the bounce.

A big derby against their local rivals.

Two games against Man City that they were not favourites to win.

But again, City gifted Real Madrid opportunities and they took them.
