Hector Herrera emerged as the heroic second-half substitute by producing a late equaliser from a Kieran Trippier corner kick as Diego Simeone’s men fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with the Serie A giants.
Former Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado produced a stunning curler to give the Bianconeri the lead in the 48th minute before Blaise Matuidi headed home a cross in the 65th minute to double it.
Things looked bleak for the Madrid giants until Stefan Savic pulled a goal back for them with a header inside the six-yard area in the 70th minute before Herrera secured the equaliser.
The result leaves Atletico and Juventus with a point each, with Lokomotiv Moscow securing the top spot in Group D after beating Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 away from home.
