Atletico Madrids hopes of earning a Champions League top eight spot at the end of the league phase were diminished by a 1-1 draw at Galatasaray on Wednesday in their penultimate fixture.

Giuliano Simeones early goal was the perfect start for his father Diego Simeones team, but Marcos Llorentes own goal left honours even in Istanbul.
