Playing at barcelona home, they were able to surprise since the game just started, without taking long Atletico was to put mental pressure with quick goals through Alvarez and Griezmann, what was seen in the match in my opinion really showed the mentality of the two favourite teams to win this season both in the league and the Coppa Del Rey, two goals behind in less than 7 minutes in the match, precisely Barcelona was able to rise with extraordinary mentality for turn things around before the first half ended, with score 4-4 in first leg, I think the second leg later will be a tight match for them, because however with a draw in the first leg still keeps the chances of both teams to qualify for the final very large.
We can now see that Athletico Madrid isn't the jokers we use know before, this team isn't taking things lightly again, I can see the zeal in them to make a great difference, just imagine there performance last night, though both teams weren't ready to allow each other to gain supremacy and that has shown that their strength were equal in that match, the goals were coming like nothing and I believe it is because both teams dont want to look inferior and it's also a sign of a good build up by both teams, yea of course we should be expecting a very tough second leg because it will be a play to finish and i believe both teams will want to be more careful in conceiving goals, the second leg may likely end by 1:0 by any of the team, I love the strength in both teams, ordinarily this is how football is supposed to be, results are not supposed to be easily gotten, the game of soccer ahould be in way that once a team got good results they celebrate it very well because of the hard work they put in getting it.
