Atlético appears without Luis Suárez who is exposed to COVID-19, playing in attack with Ángel Correa and Joao Félix. Koke, Saul Niguez and Marcos Llorente became a pillar of the midfield.
Meanwhile, Barcelona played against Antoine Griezmann, Lionel Messi, Ousmane Dembele and Pedri. In fact, Atlético gave Barcelona possession of the ball, but they were not allowed to enter the penalty area.
There was no golden opportunity for Barcelona to create during the first half. They conceded a goal in the third minute of injury time in the first half when Atlético’s quick counterattack broke the defense.
Correa saw Yannick Carascao have room to run and provide the pass. Once faced with Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Carascao first rolled the ball between his legs, before kicking it into an empty net.

Atlético’s 1-0 lasted until the break. Behind a goal, Atlético were even more eager to catch up in the second half. The visitors’ best chance came in the 58th minute, when Clement Lenglet’s header in front of the goal was still right in the reception of Jan Oblak.
Then Barcelona played Philippe Coutinho to increase their hitting power. However, several experimental attempts have yet to find results.
In the 82nd minute, Griezmann has a chance to find the net for his former team, when the ball heads towards the goal. However, Oblak quickly dismissed it.
No more goals were created so Atlético continued to win 1-0.
