Atletico Madrid Coach Highlights Onyedika's Absence

In a UEFA Champions League round of 16 playoff second leg match on Tuesday, Atletico Madrid secured a 4-1 victory over Club Brugge, advancing with a 7-4 aggregate win. Diego Simeone, the coach of Atletico Madrid, acknowledged the noticeable absence of Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika, who was unavailable due to suspension from accumulated yellow cards.

Onyedika had scored in the first leg, which ended in a 3-3 draw, but could not participate in the return fixture. Following the defeat, Club Brugge will shift their focus to their upcoming Belgian Pro League fixture against Royal Charleroi Sport Club this weekend.
