 October 26, 2022 Carrasco had his late spot-kick savedCredit: AP Atletico then missed two follow-upsCredit: Getty Goals on Atletico's side from Yannick Carrasco and Rodrigo De Paul cancelled out Leverkusen's Moussa Diaby and Callum Hudson-Odoi. But Atletico had the chance to keep their Champions League hopes alive right at the death. They were awarded a penalty which was taken nearly four minutes past the original five. Carrasco saw the spot-kick be saved, and the follow-up shot crashed back off the crossbar. Reinildo Mandava then had a pop but his effort flicked off the heel of a team-mate and mercilessly wide. The draw has left Atletico trailing second place Porto, who they face in the final group game by four points. A third placed finish would see Atletico drop down into the Europa League, a competition they won a number of years ago against Marseille. However, that spot is far from a guarantee with rock bottom Leverkusen trailing by a point.
