The 21-year-old collapsed after colliding with Juventus forward Barbara Bonansea in the second half, requiring several minutes of medical attention on the pitch before being carried off on a stretcher.
Medina was rushed to the hospital, where tests came back normal, Atletico said.
"Andrea Medina suffered a head injury associated with concussion ... After being kept under observation, the player has been discharged and will now follow the club's medical services' concussion protocol," Atletico said in a statement.
Medina started her senior career at Real Betis before moving to Atletico in 2022.
