VAR denies Atleti in Lokomotiv stalemate
Atletico Madrid's chances of finishing top of Champions League Group A are over after it was held to a 0-0 draw by Lokomotiv Moscow, with Koke having a goal ruled out by VAR.
Diego Simeone's side – without star forward Luis Suarez after the Uruguay international tested positive for coronavirus – needed to win on Wednesday in order to keep slim hopes of pipping holder Bayern Munich to top spot alive.
Yet, despite a bright start in which Joao Felix and Yannick Carrasco went close, Atleti failed to overcome its Russian opponent for a second successive match.
Koke had a goal disallowed for a marginal offside decision, with Jose Gimenez heading wide late on as Atleti was frustrated.
