Madrid: Atletico Madrid lifted the gloom by qualifying for the Champions League Last 16 on Wednesday after they beat Lokomotiv Moscow 2-0 to finish runners-up in Group D. Kieran Trippier missed an early penalty at the Wanda Metropolitano but a second Atletico spot-kick gave the lively Joao Felix another chance and he made no mistake.
"Joao is growing, he gives a huge number of things to the team," said Diego Simeone afterwards. "But we need to improve the chemistry between our forwards, we need to make it even better to finish off more chances."
