What is the problem with gdal info for sentinel 2 level 2A?

gdalinfo SENTINEL2_L2A:S2A_MSIL2A_20181227T125301_N0211_R052_T24LXN_20181227T145100.SAFE/MTD_MSIL2A.xml 
ERROR 1: Invalid syntax for SENTINEL2_L2A:

There are good examples in https://gdal.org/frmt_sentinel2.html but you must follow them carefully. Use the name of the subdataset literally as it is reported by gdalinfo. The name does not stop into ".xml" but also something like ":10m:EPSG_32632" is included.

Subdatasets:
  SUBDATASET_1_NAME=SENTINEL2_L2A:/vsizip/S2A_MSIL2A_20180119T101331_N0206_R022_T32TPR_20180119T135441.zip/S2A_MSIL2A_20180119T101331_N0206_R022_T32TPR_20180119T135441.SAFE/MTD_MSIL2A.xml:10m:EPSG_32632
  SUBDATASET_1_DESC=Bands B2, B3, B4, B8 with 10m resolution, UTM 32N
  SUBDATASET_2_NAME=SENTINEL2_L2A:/vsizip/S2A_MSIL2A_20180119T101331_N0206_R022_T32TPR_20180119T135441.zip/S2A_MSIL2A_20180119T101331_N0206_R022_T32TPR_20180119T135441.SAFE/MTD_MSIL2A.xml:20m:EPSG_32632

Whole gdalinfo report of one subdataset (notice that I opened the zip file directly through /vsizip/:
