Positioned himself well to receive a pass back if the midfielders found themselves under pressure. The defender still produced a determined showing, including an attempt to clear the ball with his head while going to ground. Let off with an early warning after a clash with Ocampos before picking up a yellow for a high boot on Ivan Rakitić. In the past six games, Molina has been substituted after 45 minutes three times. Tried to deliver crosses and influence Atlético Madrid’s attack, but a first-half yellow card sealed his fate and saw him removed at halftime.
Largely unbothered, had one difficult save to make on Lucas Ocampos from close range but will be thrilled to keep this clean sheet.
