Atlético de Madrid defeat Barcelona and continue their impressive career

Atlético de Madrid continued their remarkable record this season by not defeating them in any game within the League, raising their score to 20 points and as the strongest line of defense in the competition by conceding just two goals.

Belgian Carrasqua scored the goal of the match in injury time of the first half, 45 + 3.

Atlético de Madrid played a great game in the absence of the number of its main stars, led by Uruguayan Luis Suárez, who was infected with the Corona virus during the international sanction.

Atlético de Madrid raised their score to 20 points from 8 matches up front, on par with Real Sociedad, while Barcelona’s balance stopped at 11 points after their third defeat, for three wins and two draws.

This is Atlético de Madrid’s first victory over Barcelona in the Spanish Football League in more than ten years.

Belgian winger Carrasco opened the scoring at the end of the first half, taking advantage of Ter Stegen’s departure and preceded him to put the ball between his legs and then shot into an empty goal.

Marcus Llorente was about to overtake Atlético from the start, but his shot hit the crossbar while Ter Stegen starred to save a chance for Saúl Niguez.

Barcelona captain Lionel Messi gave a game to be forgotten, while former Atlético striker Antoine Griezmann missed an opportunity at each half.
