This match was gradually breaking my patience in the initial stages, as Barcelona were trailing 2-0 for almost 71 minutes but still made a great comeback. I have to thank Robert Lewandowski for bringing Barcelona back into the game, he truly became a hero at that moment. Those who have been following La Liga closely in recent times would probably say that this match was much needed for Barcelona, especially to increase the rivalry with Real Madrid. We can see right now that the competition with Atletico Madrid is now waning. At the moment Atletico Madrid and Liverpool have become in the same stream , in fact Liverpool and A. Madrid haven't been able to win any other match since losing in the Champions League.
These were two completely different halves, the first was very cautious for both teams and Atletico was lucky to score a goal at the end of the half, despite the fact that the teams made only one shot on target. The second half was different, Barcelona needed to score and so they tried to attack more, but they missed again, and it was very good that Lewandowski was able to score a quick goal two minutes after Barcelona missed the second goal, this gave them hope and strength to attack further. The ending was crazy, Atletico's defense simply fell apart.
Atletico's defense started to panic after falling behind in extra time. The panicked defenders gave away too many open chances and as a result they conceded another goal and lost the match. Moreover, losing at home was even more disappointing for them. Sorloth wasted several clear chances. If he had scored another goal, the result of the match would not have been like this.
