Atletico Madrid 1-0 Leicester City

The first thing that must be said about the goal that won this game is that it was never a penalty. It was, quite definitely, a foul. It was a rash challenge by Marc Albrighton and for that reason a very silly thing to do. And on the balance of play, it is hard to argue that Atletico Madrid were not worth the win. But Albrighton’s trip on Antoine Griezmann was outside the box, and by a reasonable distance, and that much should have been clear to referee Jonas Eriksson, who pointed to the spot with confidence unmatched by competence. So, bottom line, Leicester were worth a draw. A goalless draw, because it is hard to get any other kind when you haven’t had a shot on target all game, but a draw just the same.
