Madrid –
There is always an end to everything, including Diego Simeone’s poor record against Barcelona. Simeone can finally beat Los Cules too!
The Atlético vs Barcelona duel at the Wanda Metropolitano, Sunday (11/22/2020) WIB at dawn. Despite the fact that Atlético is at the top of the table, they have never had movements against Barcelona, especially since they were managed by Simeone.
Of course, out of the 17 previous games, Atlético could never beat Barcelona! The details are six draws and 11 losses. Even when Atlético managed to beat Barcelona in the 2013/2014 Spanish League title race.
Atlético had lost four games in a row against Barcelona under Simeone. That terrible record is the one that Atlético tried to stop in the ninth day of the 2020/2021 Spanish League.
As long as Barcelona remains in the hands of Ronald Koeman, Atlético must be able to maximize it. The hosts did not waste that opportunity when they burst into the visiting goal in the third minute of injury time in the first half.
Taking advantage of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen’s mistakes outside his nest, Yannick Carasco easily crosses the ball between his legs and then kicks into an empty goal.
The 1-0 victory for Barcelona lasted until the game ended. Simeone deserves to celebrate with joy because finally after spending 18 games, he can also beat the Catalan team.
This is also Atlético’s first victory over Barcelona in the league since February 4, 2010. At that time, Atlético won 2-1 at Vicente Calderón with a pair of goals from Diego Forlán and Simao Sabrosa, to which Zlatan Ibrahimovic only responded once.
Even Atlético’s two scorers have retired at this point. Atlético de Madrid topped the LaLiga standings alongside Real Sociedad with 20 points from eight games.
