Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Atlético Madrid 2-1 Inter in the Champions League on Wednesday, 26 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.
Atlético Madrid took an early lead when J. Alvarez scored in the 9th minute, setting a positive tone for the hosts as they looked to control the game’s rhythm. Inter responded with pressure but picked up a yellow card for F. Dimarco in the 44th minute, which slightly disrupted their flow heading into the break. The first half ended with Atlético ahead, though Inter’s slight possession edge hinted at their growing involvement.
The second half saw Inter equalise through P. Zielinski in the 54th minute, shifting momentum as both teams made multiple substitutions around the hour mark to refresh their line-ups. Atlético’s manager D. Simeone received a yellow card in the 64th minute, adding tension, while Inter continued to probe with effective dribbles. The match turned decisively in stoppage time when J. M. Gimenez netted in the 90+3rd minute, securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory for Atlético despite Inter’s overall control in certain metrics.
Possession was closely contested at 48% for Atlético Madrid and 52% for Inter, but the visitors dominated successful dribbles with 67 compared to Atlético’s 28, which allowed them to create more dynamic attacking opportunities and equalise in the second half. Corners were nearly even at 7-6 in Atlético’s favour, reflecting both sides’ set-piece threats, while Inter’s single yellow card contrasted with Atlético’s clean disciplinary record on the pitch, though their manager was booked. With five substitutions each, Atlético introduced players like N. Gonzalez, Koke, and M. Pubill at 59 minutes to bolster midfield and defence, followed by A. Griezmann and A. Sorloth at 68 minutes for added attacking impetus, which ultimately contributed to their late winner; Inter’s changes, such as P. Sucic and M. Thuram at 66 minutes, helped maintain pressure but couldn’t prevent the injury-time concession.
Assists were level at one apiece, underscoring the key individual contributions to goals, and the absence of penalties or red cards kept the focus on open play, where Inter’s dribbling edge nearly paid off but Atlético’s resilience with corners and timely substitutions proved decisive.
The game’s opening goal came in the 9th minute as J. Alvarez found the net for Atlético Madrid, giving them an early advantage that shaped the first half’s dynamics. Inter fought back effectively, with P. Zielinski’s 54th-minute equaliser assisted by A. Bonny proving a turning point that levelled the score and swung momentum towards the visitors. A triple substitution by Atlético at 59 minutes saw N. Gonzalez replace N. Molina, Koke come on for C. Gallagher, and M. Pubill take over from J. Cardoso, injecting fresh energy, while their later changes at 68 minutes brought A. Griezmann on for A. Baena and A. Sorloth for M. Ruggeri, setting up the dramatic 90+3rd-minute winner from J. M. Gimenez, assisted by Griezmann, which sealed the result.
Inter’s substitutions included P. Sucic replacing P. Zielinski and M. Thuram coming on for A. Bonny at 66 minutes, followed by F. Esposito for L. Martinez and D. Frattesi for H. Calhanoglu at 72 minutes, and Luis Henrique replacing F. Dimarco at 80 minutes, but these adjustments couldn’t counter Atlético’s late surge.
Atlético Madrid lined up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, providing a solid defensive base with midfield depth that allowed for quick transitions, highlighted by partnerships in the attacking third where players like J. Alvarez exploited spaces effectively.
Inter deployed a 3-5-2 shape, emphasising wing-back involvement and a compact midfield that facilitated their high dribble count, with forward pairings creating consistent threats through the channels.
J. M. Gimenez earned Man of the Match honours for his decisive 90+3rd-minute goal that clinched the victory for Atlético Madrid, combining defensive solidity with a crucial attacking contribution in stoppage time.
