Barcelona Vs Atletico Madrid

Barcelona Vs Atletico Madrid:

Messi and company wasted chance to move into first place in La Liga. A win would have put Barca in first, but instead they are staying in third. That was the second time, two teams were meeting each other this season. And A homecoming match for El Pistolero Luis Suarez. Barca had the better of the chances while the Atleti attack led by Luis Suarez rarely threatened despite producing 11 shots.

Barca, knowing a win would be crucial to their title hopes, went forward in numbers late and looked set to grab a winner from Ousmane Dembele, but the French winger's powerful header inside the box on a Jordi Alba cross flew over the goal to the surprise of his teammates. In the first half a magic was produced by Messi though. But Oblak got that magic seriously. Atletico were perfectly content in staying compact and pressing, which they are known for under coach Diego Simeone, seeing a result that in the end will please them. At the end the result was Draw. Now Atleti just have to hope Real Madrid drop points Sunday against Sevilla as a win for Los Blancos will put them in first place with just three matches remaining. Man of the match was Yannick Carrasco.
