It was a little painful when the goal came off the foot of Joao, who has been discarded by Simeone in recent seasons 
The game was still going on and it was still business as usual, Barcelona still employing their infuriating tiki taka scheme, which made it a bit difficult for Atletico to move around, despite the few chances they had on the counter-attack.
By the 70th minute I was pretty bored with the game as it was, the ball was mostly in the middle of the park and although there were a few chances on target both clubs were a bit poor,I would have liked more open play from both teams but so far it seems they haven't done that as both clubs are still defending each other and not playing frontally to intimidate each other.
The match got more exciting towards the end, that's because Atletico Madrid started to increase their attacks. They create opportunities and so far Inaki Pena has made a brilliant save for Memphis Depay's shot. Barcelona's defense was good in this match, but they failed to take advantage of many opportunities to score additional goals.
Although Joao is currently playing very well but making this player permanent will not be easy because Barcelona is likely to have to prepare more than 50 million to bring Joao from Atletico.
Towards the end of the match there was some increase in the intensity of the attack but the poor finishing did not make a difference as both clubs had the same problem in this match which was their imperfect finishing.
