ATLETICO MADRID missed a penalty and hit the bar AFTER full-time to crash out of the Champions League in the group stages.
The 2021 LaLiga champions were held to a 2-2 draw by Bayer Leverkusen.
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.
The referee had already blown the final whistle
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.
