I was really shocked after the result. Atletico Madrid managed to beat Barcelona away in the La Liga after 18 years...  Shocked  It isn't a win at Camp Nou though but anyways.

I think the turning point of the game was Raphinha's lob shot hitting the upper post. If he scored there, Barcelona were going to make it 2-0. I think Atletico Madrid wouldn't manage to come back from that.

After that Simeone did his magic somehow again. A last minute winner brought the 2-1 win to his team.  Smiley  I don't remember exactly but it must be like their 13th or 14th goal that came in the stoppage time this season. They are really in this title competition.
To me, it seems that Barcelona has lost the fire and zeal that they started  this season with. Even when they had so much injury worries they never played this badly and I wonder why they have missed it because they can't comfortably win a home game against struggling team thereby making themselves seem like the underdogs in matches where they ought to be favourites. I think it's high time the Barcelona coach starts motivating his players again so that they can start playing with purpose and precision else they might get to a very bad position on the table should Real Madrid get back to better form.

Barcelona's performance at the beginning of this season has surprised us all. Barcelona started off great. Barcelona had been at the top of the table for a long time. But recently Barcelona's performance has been very poor. Barcelona has lost several matches in a row. And Barcelona has also lost the top spot in the points table. Barcelona has played one more match than Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. Even then, Barcelona is behind by 2 and 3 points respectively. It will be very difficult for Barcelona to regain the top spot in the table now. I am waiting to see if Barcelona loses the truck in the Champions League as well. Hansi FLick will have to make some changes in his match strategy. We can see a slight decline in the performance of Barcelona's attacking players.
