Atletico Madrid Through To Champions League Final

Atletico Madrid Through To Champions League Final

Atletico Madrid reached their second Champions League final in three years by edging past Bayern Munich on away goals in a pulsating semi-final.
Trailing 1-0 from the first leg in Spain, Bayern levelled the tie through Xabi Alonso’s deflected free-kick.
Atletico keeper Jan Oblak saved Thomas Muller’s low penalty, before Antoine Griezmann coolly fired in an equaliser.
Robert Lewandowski’s header set up a tense finish, but Atletico held on after Fernando Torres missed a penalty.
Bayern, backed by a vociferous Munich crowd, desperately pressed for a third goal that would send them through.
However they could not find a way past Oblak, who blocked David Alaba’s 20-yard volley in injury-time.
Atletico, aiming to be crowned European champions for the first time, will meet Manchester City or Real Madrid in the final on 28 May.
City face Atletico’s neighbours at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday after the teams drew 0-0 in last week’s first leg.

According to a report from Reuters, the company announced the deal as part of an ongoing exchange program for the Note 7 in its home country, but there’s no word on whether the same offer will be made in the US. In a statement on Monday, Samsung said customers who trade in their Note 7 phone for either a flat-screen or curved-screen version of the Galaxy S7 can trade up for a Galaxy S8 or Note 8 smartphone launching next year through an upgrade programme. The news seemingly confirms that Samsung will be continuing the Note line despite the disaster of the Note 7, which was permanently discontinued earlier this month. According to Reuters, Note 7 owners in Korea will only have to pay half the price of a Galaxy S7 to get their hands on a Galaxy S8 or Note 8 next year. When Samsung was asked if the sa...
