Atlético Holds off Barça

The two points lost at Camp Nou against Atlético were perhaps the least concern at Can Barça during the clash against los Colchoneros. Messi’s hands towards his groin area and the alarms went off alarming the grada culé that felt as much pain as their star player. It was a tie at Ciudad Condal and seeing the arsenal brought by both teams, maybe it was not that strange.

Watching Barcelona’s football performance during the first half, few expected the subsequent events. The Azulgranas monopolized the ball, kept Atlético de Madrid in their goal area and didn’t even let Simeone’s team catch their breath until they got back to the locker rooms.

The Culé recovery happened almost in front of the opponent’s area., Piqué played as a midfielder although seeing that the opponent didn’t cross the dividing line nor the sidelines with Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto were a real threat. Camp Nou had a good time as Atlético didn’t know what was going on.
