Despite the fact that the big game could serve as a means to test Suárez against the Barcelona officials, who considered him unworthy of being in Ronald Koeman’s squad. Despite losing one of their flagship bombers, Atlético still looked crazy.
The test, Diego Simeone’s men were able to create 12 occasions, one of which managed to excite Ter Stegen’s goal. It was Yannick Carrasco, who managed to take advantage of the Barça goalkeeper’s mistakes before the break. (Read also: The curse of Real Madrid continues at Villarreal’s home)
Statistics say that Atlético have scored three goals in LaLiga this season thanks to a goalkeeper error. In the second half, Barcelona tries to take over the game.
Barcelona also had the opportunity to equalize. However, of the four golden opportunities that were created, not a single goal could excite Jan Oblak’s goal.
Until the long whistle sounded, the 1-0 score for Atlético de Madrid’s victory did not change. Thanks to this victory, Diego Simeone’s team managed to end the curse of never winning in 20 games against Barcelona.
The three additional points kept Atlético in the position of Real Sociedad with 20 points. They only lost in the aggressiveness of Los Blancos’ goal.
Meanwhile, Barcelona, who have only won once in their last six games, have to settle for being scattered in 10th place with 11 points.
