See What Benfica Did To Atlético Madrid By Beating Them At Their Home

After watching Benfica come from behind to win 2-1 at Atlético Madrid, match reporter Joseph Walker reflects on a visiting performance that Diego Simeone might himself have admired.

Benfica produced a clinical display to put Atlético Madrid to the sword and condemn the Spanish outfit to only their second loss in their last 25 UEFA competition games at the Vicente Calderón.
The Rojiblancos had not tasted defeat at home in Europe since February 2013, but were undone 2-1 by a combination of assuredness and doggedness demonstrated by Rui Vitoria's side, the kind of which Diego Simeone himself would have been proud.
Goals win games
Since Atlético's last defeat, the likes of AC Milan, Barcelona and Juventus have all come away from the Calderón beaten, while Chelsea and Real Madrid could each only achieve 0-0 draws.
Indeed, the last time Atlético had conceded in Europe at the Calderón was in March 2014 during their 4-1 defeat of Milan. Following Ángel Correa's opener after 23 minutes it seemed as if victory would be a formality for the home side.
