This is extraordinary. Atletico Madrid extended their winning streak to 12. And won away from home in Barcelona for the first time in almost 19 years. And is at the top of La Liga. In fact, they were outplayed for most of the game, but they fought with all their might to stay in the game and then scored another crucial late goal.

That’s tough for Barcelona, ​​who have largely been excellent but have only taken five points from their last seven league games.

Full time: Barcelona – Atlético Madrid 1:2

Atletico crushed Barcelona with a break goal. Substitute Molina ran the length of the field to support De Paul, who played a simple ball over the line to release him. Molina’s low cross was missed by Cubarsi and majestically finished at the far post by Sorloth, another substitute! My word.

GOAL! Barcelona – Atlético Madrid 1:2 (Sorloth 90+6)

90+4 mins Olmo’s inventive through ball to Lewandowski is read wonderfully by Lenglet. He played a really good game.

90+1 min If it stays that way, Real Madrid will be at the top and will overtake both teams if they beat Sevilla at home tomorrow.

90 mins Six minutes of injury time.

89 mins Funny old game. The team, which has an 11-game winning streak, would be more than happy with a draw; The team, which has lost three of its last six games, only has eyes for victory.

88th minute: Great save from Oblak! Now Olmo pushes a great through ball to Pedri, who controls it beautifully as he runs in a crowded area. He gets on goal, but his low shot is parried by Oblak’s legs.

86th minute: Great save from Oblak! Lewandowski puts Raphinha on goal with a nice early pass. Raphinha bursts into the penalty area and shoots a low shot that is blocked by Oblak, who is perfectly placed at the near post. As Terry Gibson says in the comments, Raphinha picked up on this quite easily.

85 mins A poor clearance from Pena goes to Alvarez, who tries to beat the goalkeeper from 50 meters. He doesn’t make proper contact and the retreating Pena parries comfortably.

84 mins Lewandowski’s shot is deflected towards a corner. It is rolled up low and shot by Koke over his own bar. Oblak got to the ball and didn’t progress, even though he thought he had been fouled by Lewandowski. No matter: the second corner goes nowhere.

82 mins Although Barrios had a pretty good chance to put Atlético in front, it was generally just Barcelona in the final 10-15 minutes. The game is so open that, as Terry Gibson says on ITV4, I’m not sure it will end 1-1.

80 mins A typically quick-witted performance from Dani Olmo. He was surrounded by players on the left side of the penalty area and shot over the goal with his side foot with almost no backward movement. It beat the flying Oblak and missed the far post by just a few meters.

80th minute: Barcelona substitution Eric Garcia replaces Marc Casado.

79 mins We just saw a replay of De Paul’s goal, which he recorded so casually. He used Casado as a shield and simply passed the ball into the far corner.

77th minute: Chance for Atlético! On the other side, Barrios storms through and a shot from Pena is blocked. Barcelona break out and Le Normand are booked for Ferran Torres’ withdrawal (I think).

76th minute: What a chance for Lewandowski! Raphinha’s clever ball across the goal line reaches Torres, who pushes the ball back to Lewandowski five meters from the goal. He completely misses his kick.

Replays suggested Torres was offside. Although it wasn’t shown on the pitch, I suspect the VAR would have been involved. Still a terrible failure.

75 mins Sorloth breaks through promisingly and tries to play Alvarez in, who is blocked/run by Cubarsi.

73rd min. Double substitution for Atlético This is Barcelona’s best spell in a while, probably because they took the lead after half an hour. Atletico responded by signing Robin Le Normand and Alexander Sorloth for Marcos Llorente and Antoine Griezmann. That could mean a switch to a five-man defense.

70 mins Barcelona responded well to De Paul’s equalizer and look the most likely winners at this stage. Mind you, we’ve heard this before at Atlético.

67 mins Raphinha’s overshot cross goes just wide of the goal and Oblak scrambles over the goal. He probably had it under control, but was worried for a moment.

66 mins Barcelona is coming back. Raphinha combines well with Kounde and hits a cross that flies past everyone in the six-yard box. Perhaps he could have been more precise on the cross or even taken a shot himself.

64th minute: Double change for Barcelona Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres on, Fermin Lopez and Gavi out.

62nd min.: Double substitution for Atlético Nahuel Molina and Koke replace Giuliano Simeone and Conor Gallagher.

Alvarez got away to the left and tried to spot Griezmann (I think) near the penalty spot. In fact, it was a weak ball that was half-cleared by Casado. De Paul ran towards the ball from 25 meters away and flicked the first shot precisely into the far corner. This is such a cool, classy finish. And it was a strange play from Casado, whose attempted free throw was an extravagant shot behind his supporting leg.

GOAL! Barcelona – Atletico 1:1 (De Paul 60)

58th minute: Raphinha hits the crossbar! Pedri rolls a delicious pass over Galan to put Raphinha on goal. The ball is well positioned, so Raphinha lobs it over the onrushing Oblak. The ball hits the crossbar and bounces to Lewandowski, whose throw is desperately blocked by Witsel.

56 mins Simeone storms into the field and pushes a dangerous pass to Alvarez. He tries to run to Cubarsi, who shows impressive pace and calmly hits the ball back to Pena. Great defense against an incredibly talented young defender.

55 mins Balde’s cross is only half cleared to Pedri on the other side of the penalty area. He cuts inside with his left foot and fires the shot high and wide.

Lewandowski’s free kick was actually blocked by his teammate Cubarsi, who was lurking behind the Atlético wall. However, I think Oblak had everything under control.

55 mins Lewandowski’s free kick lands in the wall.

53 mins Witsel’s first contribution is to bring down Lewandowski right on the edge of the penalty area. He’s fully booked.

51st minute: Substitution at Atlético Jose Maria Gimenez limps off the pitch with what appears to be an ankle problem. Axel Witsel replaces him.

48th minute: Great save from Oblak! A very bad pass from Gimenez is intercepted by Raphinha and in no time Pedri Fermin Lopez plays through to the goal in the left inside channel. His shot is blocked by Oblak. This is his best save of the game so far.

46 mins Look, look! Barcelona begins the second half.

We just saw a replay of Pedri’s goal. First of all, Gavi’s back pass was definitely a coincidence; The other thing is that Pedris Short took a light but important touch from the outreaching Gimenez.

“Regarding Phil Podolsky“Alvarez plays in light blue and his team loses,” says Andy Gordon. “So the only difference is the better weather?”
