Atletico Madrid were held to a goalless stalemate in the Netherlands by PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of their Champions League round-of-16 tie at the Philips Stadion on Wednesday.
The visitors had the better chances in the game, and at least one of Antoine Griezmann or Luciano Vietto should have found the net in the first half.
Gaston Pereiro was sent off for the hosts after 68 minutes for a careless second yellow card, but despite some late pressure, Atleti were unable to break the deadlock.
The Spanish side fired an early warning shot at their hosts as they had the ball cleared off the line just minutes after kick-off.
