Before the start of this game, there was a lot of talk about how his former footballer and now Atlético Luis Suárez player would play against Barcelona. However, the Uruguayan striker was not even included in the Madrid club’s candidacy. But his new teammates started the game against the Catalans quite aggressively and in the first eleven minutes they created two very dangerous chances in the visiting goal.
Initially, in minute 5, Saúl struck a strong blow in the upper left corner of the goal, but Ter Stegen managed to transfer the ball to the corner. And then Llorente burst into the rival area on the right and fired. The ball hit the crossbar with a clink and flew off the field. As for Barcelona, Griezmann could have stood out in the first minutes, but his header from close range was inaccurate.
And then, almost until the break, the game passed without special moments. And just in minute 41, Messi, having received a pass from Alba, found himself face to face with the Cloud, but failed to beat the Atlético goalkeeper. And when it seemed that the teams were going to rest with zero, Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen made a serious mistake. He ran to intercept the ball almost to the center of the field, but could not reach it first. And Carrasco, having skilfully beaten the German, scored almost to an empty door.
In the second half, there were also few real chances to score. So, in the 57th minute, Langle, after Messi’s transfer, struck closely with his head, but hit the Clouds directly. And in the 82nd minute, after Messi’s own pass, Griezmann was already hitting his head, but he hit the goalkeeper again with the ball.
As a result, Atlético won with a score of 1: 0 and in points they reached the championship leader Real Sociedad in the standings.
