The key moment for Callum Hudson-Odoi at the BayArena, Leverkusen, on Tuesday night came in the 87th minute, when he picked up the ball in his own half.
Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid had been gnarly and obdurate opponents all night but, having conceded three minutes earlier, they were now a little bit open for the first time.
Hudson-Odoi sensed it. Playing as a No10 — he had started the game wide left — he saw Mario Hermoso, a Simeone veteran and Spanish international, approaching. And he knew he had the speed to expose him.
