Magician 1-1 Machine.
What was billed rather colourfully on the front of a Spanish newspaper on Tuesday as a battle between Vinicius Jr and Erling Haaland actually fits for the two teams, and the juggernaut unbeaten in 20 games that will not rest until they have conquered world football went to the home of the masters capable of conjuring something out of nothing again and again.
