Valencia vs Atlético Madrid, 2nd Leg Atlético Madrid advance 5-2 on aggregate

1. Thanks for keeping my company tonight. It's been strange fun. Until the next time, ladies and gentlemen.

2. Keeping my eyes peeled for animosity, but Atletico are not interested in it just yet. They are dancing a merry jig, the players set for Bucharest.

3. <b>Atletico are through the final.</b>

4. <b>FULL-TIME: Valencia 0-1 Atletico (agg: 2-5)</b>

5. 90'

   Definitely get the feeling it will get spiky when the whistle goes. Just witnessed a kick at a player off the ball.

6. 90'

   Three minutes of added time will be played.

7. 90'

   In the other game, Athletic have struck a late goal. Set for an all-Spanish final.

8. 89'

   Many empty seats now, although not in the away end, many of who are shirtless and singing merrily.

9. 88'

   The season isn't over for Valencia, who still have work to do to secure third place, and with it Champions League qualification.

10. 87'

    Juanfran, who I have barely mentioned, has worked tirelessly.

11. 86'

    I'm anticipating some sour scenes post the final whistle. Tiago will likely be lurking for Soldado, and vice versa. Some nasty words exchanged as the former left the field.

12. 85'

    What a peculiar game this has been.

13. 84'

    Ooo, good hit. Tino Costa winds up and hits a sweet strike goalwards. Courtois springs to his left and parries away.

14. 83'

15. 82'

    Tiago must feel pig sick now. One moment of red mist, and he misses a showpiece.

16. 81'

    Apologies if that was a little erratic, but it was an odd timeline of events. Regardless, Atletico are well on course to be in the final.

17. 80'

    What in the hell is going on? Right. The ref pointed to the spot after Tiago seemingly handballed. But, replays show he did not. It was the Valencia player. It then all kicked off, and Tiago was sent off for losing his head and twice flicking a hand at Soldado's face. The penalty was then not given, and play goes on.

18. 79'

    <b>NO PENALTY.</b>

19. 79'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/red_card.jpg" height="15"> Tiago is sent off. He will miss the final.

20. 79'

    Soldado is furious after Tiago may have caught his face with a swipe.

21. 79'

    I am trying to make sense of this, so bear with me.

22. 78'

    And now it is all kicking off. Melee.

23. 77'

    But it shouldn't have been.

24. 76'

    <b>Penalty to Valencia!</b>

25. 75'

    Corner to Valencia! Could the comeback be on? No.
