As I write this the result of the match has changed to 1-0 in favor of Atletico Madrid.
The goal came before the end of the first half and it was a very effective quick counter attack from Atletico Madrid. Barcelona are 1-0 down now, but their performance in this game looks like they can be expected to win. Turning things around in the second half is Barcelona's main mission now, but we both know that Atletico Madrid has a strong defense to maintain its lead. Their counterattack is very dangerous, but I still believe Atletico Madrid will drop points in their home match.
Barcelona basically dominates ball possession and attacks, but they have not been able to take advantage of goal opportunities well. Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski missed those chances, but I think they will in the second half. On the other hand, Barcelona cannot afford to drop points in this match if they want to continue leading the La Liga standings, but I know this will definitely be difficult.
