Barcelona's overall performance was better than Atletico madrid's from the beginning of the match. But Atletico Madrid was lucky. So they were able to take a 1-0 lead at the end of the first half. And in the 70th minute, Sorloth's goal gave Atletico a 2-0 lead. But Lewa scored just 2 minutes later. And in the 78th minute, TOrres' goal equalized the match. After the 70 th minute, Atletico played defensively and Barcelona tried to find the weaknesses in Atletico's defense. Barcelona succeeded . For this, Torres and Yamal must be thanked. These two young Barcelona players played excellently.
Yes, looking at Barcelona's recent performance statistics compared to Atletico Madrid's own, even before the game, it was clear that Barcelona was in greater form than Atletico Madrid. Barcelona was the favorite team to win the game.
But the surprising part was that Atletico Madrid was leading with 2 goals, and in less than 10 minutes, Barcelona equalized the two goals and later added another 2 goals in extra minutes. That comeback really shocked me because I never expected that to happen yesterday. I know Atletico for their defensive style so well, and that is the reason the match surprised me so much.
As for now, if Atletico Madrid can't stop Barcelona in this winning streak, it will be hard for any other team to stop them, unless in their second-leg match against Real Madrid. Even then, Real Madrid will need to put in extra effort; otherwise, Barcelona will still beat them again.
