Madrid rivals fail to fire in tense derby

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid drew 0-0 in a tight and tense Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Estadio Vicente Calderon on Tuesday night.

Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak made a strong of first half saves, while the home side’s battling centre-forward Mario Mandzukic was the protagonist after the break, but neither team was able to take an advantage to next Wednesday’s second leg across the city at Madrid’s Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti was quickly looking to the next leg, “We must think about repeating the first 45 minutes for the whole game. We did not score, but will have chance to score at home.”
