Atlético Madrid bottle it yet again in a space of a few days. I think fatigue after a gruelling encounter with Real Madrid last Wednesday caught up with them towards the end of the match and Barcelona capitalized on that. They weren't defending so well toward the end.
For me this wasn’t all about fatigue but it was down to yet another big mistake from Simeone, he was seriously under pressure from Barcelona right from the very first minute and the team been compact had done an excellent work, although Barcelona perseverance granted two goals but with the comeback to complete was fully Simeone’s because the substitution of the midfielder De Paul and attacker Simeone was what’s made the midfield open and gave Barcelona more chances to attack.
Seriously this loss just confirms Atletico Madrid contention in the league, I don’t think they can go all the way from here and win it again, as for Barcelona this is a perfect match to end the month with before international football, this win will help give them more confidence going forward
