From the kick-off, it was clear that Atlético was looking to assert their dominance, and the match was brimming with its fair share of excitement and near misses.
As the first half progressed, it became evident that Atlético Madrid was relying heavily on their star talents to shine through. With João Félix and Ángel Correa leading the charge, they continually troubled the Juventus defense, leaving the likes of Chiesa and Milik scrambling to keep up. Although Juventus managed to create a few opportunities, their attack lacked the punch they needed to find the back of the net. Fans were left wondering whether it was just pre-season nerves or a larger tactical miscalculation that was hampering their performance.
The breakthrough finally came in the 48th minute when João Félix found the net, sending the Atlético supporters into a frenzy.
