BARCELLONA (SPAGNA) (ITALPRESS) – The fifth seasonal comparison between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid ends 2-0 for the Simeone team. At the Camp Nou, the Colchoneros take home the round of the Champions League quarterfinals, scoring a network for time. After the direct red of Cubarsi in the final of the first fraction, Alvarez has unlocked the result on the subsequent punishment: of the newly-income Sorloth, instead, the goal of doubling. From the first few minutes, the Athletic set up a purely containment game. The race plan of the boys of Simeone, however, is not enough to limit completely the raids of the blaugrana. In addition to the usual Yamal, Rashford also creates several scratches at the opponent’s backguard. At 4′ is the former Manchester United forward to have the first big chance of the evening, but Musso manages to deviate his shot out of the door mirror. At 17′ Rashford is still the protagonist, when his marking is canceled, following the outage of the Yamal assistman. After another parade of Musso always on English, followed by Martin and Yamal’s attempts, at 44′ comes the episode that changes the destiny of the meeting. Barcelona, in fact, remains in ten men, because of the fall of the last man of Cubarsi on Giuliano Simeone, launched on the net: Kovacs initially gives yellow, but then corrects his decision with the help of the Var. Just from the next punishment, the Athletic finds 1-0, thanks to the perfect trajectory designed by the usual Alvarez. In the Flick resumption, he set up his training, inserting Gavi and Fermin Lopez, instead of the disappointing Pedri and Lewandowski. Despite the man of difference, Barcelona is not discouraged, venting in several circumstances the tie. At 53′ Rashford is again dangerous, but his punishment is printed on the cross after Musso’s touch. As minutes pass, the Colchoneros exploit the inevitable physical decline of the Catalans and, at 70′, is Sorloth to stamp the 2-0 on assist of Ruggeri. In the final Barcelona fails to limit damage and will be named after the return match at the Metro, scheduled next Tuesday.– photo Ipa Agency –(ITALPRESS).
