Even though Camp Nou let two points get away in the game versus Atlético, that was the least of the worries for Barça fans in the clash against the colchoneros. Seeing Messi with his hands around his waist and a face full of concern is what alarmed the grada culé, who felt the same pain that their star player felt. The game that took place in the city of Barcelona ended up in a tie. However that was not much of a surprise after witnessing the level of skill that both teams displayed.

Many people didn’t expect the end results after watching Barcelona’s great performance in the first 45 minutes of the game. The azulgrana dominated the ball and trapped the other team in their half of the field. Atlético Madrid didn’t have a chance to breathe and Simeone was only able to relax once back at the locker rooms.

Culés’ ball recoveries took place in the front of the opponent’s area. Pique who acted as a midfield player, made sure that their rivals couldn’t cross the dividing line. While in the sidelines Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto were excellent wingbacks. Camp Nou had a good time and Atlético wondered where the stroke of luck was coming from.
