Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona Summary

From the first minutes of the first half, Barcelona had to be guests, but they entered the game very actively and soon mastered the game. Blaugrana continuously created dangerous situations towards Atletico Madrid's goal. However, Lewandowski's inability to play due to his suspension has greatly affected Barcelona's ability to score.

The visitors' efforts finally paid off in the 22nd minute. Barcelona had good coordination, and Dembele easily finished to make it 1-0. Just a few minutes later, Pedri almost raised the score to 2-0, but fortunately for Atletico, Molina retreated to cover in time.

Dembele had leading goal for Barca

In the 32nd minute, Atletico's Gimenez had a header from close range in an unmarked position, but he sent the ball out. Then Molina and Griezmann, respectively, had the opportunity to equalize, but their shots lacked accuracy.

In the second half, Atletico Madrid still struggled to find an equalizer. But the home team's strikers lacked accuracy in the final handling phase. Atletico even nearly conceded a second goal if Dembele had shot the ball more accurately.

Griezmann missed many opportunities

Witnessing the Los Rojiblancos' attack ineffectively, coach Simeone decided to launch Morata, Correa, and Lemar onto the field. However, these changes still did not improve Atletico Madrid's attack.

In the final minutes of injury time, Savic and Torres had to leave the field early due to receiving red cards. In the end, the match ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of Barcelona. This victory helped coach Xavi's army maintain the first place in the table with 3 points more than Real Madrid.
