Barcelona basically played better from the first half. In fact, Barcelona's passing accuracy is also more accurate than Atletico Madrid, which more often makes mistakes in passing the ball. It's just that at the end of the first half Barcelona's defense was careless and Atletico Madrid just took advantage of it. And yes, I also hope that in the second half Barcelona will be able to reply to this goal and even reply with more than 1 goal. But yes, all of that will be difficult to happen if Atletico Madrid starts to focus on their very strong defense level. So it looks like the hot match will continue in the second half. And what would be really scary is if Atletico Madrid were the ones who added a goal first in the second half. Surely it will be very painful for Barcelona. Because Barcelona will even drop to third place if they lose this match.
As I said, the game is becoming more difficult and Barcelona will definitely find it difficult to score goals. Atletico Madrid defended better in the second half and they will want to maintain their lead, but if Barcelona really increase their attacking intensity then the goals will also come soon.
So far nothing has happened and I don't see Barcelona having a good chance, but there is still enough time to wait to see what happens. There were at least 20 minutes remaining in the second half which Barcelona could maximize, but Atletico Madrid was still very dangerous in building counter attacks.
Match now becoming interesting as Atletico Madrid scored it's second goal at 70 minutes but Barca return a goal at 72 minutes. Their is still hope for Barca in this match if they can increase the intensity of their playing
I don't think Atletico Madrid can make it with the league trophy again especially if Barcelona win it's outstanding match. This will make the point difference to become 7. Atletico Madrid still have some big matching and what gives the assurance they win all this matches.
