Atletico Madrid was trashed by a ravaging Barcelona who played their best football since Xavi took over as new manager in a rollercoaster 4-2 win at the Nou Camp on Sunday evening.
Six
Goals Scored alone would have been enough however this game had quite a lot
more. A hair-raising first half from Adama Traore who recently came on loan
from wolves, the best Goal Alba has at any point scored followed by one of the
most mind-blowing that Dani Alves has made due. A red card for the Brazilian,
and another red for Xavi's brother and Oscar Hernandez the assistant.
It's
actual Barcelona's colder time of year market movement was extremely awkward
with all the cash spent on strikers. However, assuming that they play like this
until the end of this season the intensity will pay off.
Concerning
Atletico Madrid, it will be difficult to make the Champions League with such
horrendous defending. It will be difficult to remain in it too when they face
Manchester United in the round of 16 for this month.
This
would be the first time the team is conceding goals in the first half of a
match since 2015. That was additionally against Barcelona - a totally different
Barça however at that point this is an altogether different Atletico Madrid,
not capable of defending reliably well.
In
the first place, it was the legendary full-backs connecting up to score. Dani
Alves and Jordi Alba have 70 years between them however they were the most
brilliant flashes on the pitch when the Brazilian connected Spain international
who volleyed into the top corner equalizing Yannick Carrasco's opening goal.
Alba
has never scored a superior goal like this before and it's memorable's
difficult a more energetic festival all things considered. This is a signal for
his faultfinders to quit discussing him as he dashed away all alone to the
midway line.
Debutant
Adama assisted in the next goal in the initial 20 minutes of the game he
dribbles his way around Mario Hermoso. He crossed for Gavi, one of the younger
players on the pitch who lift up to 5ft 6ins high over the Atletico defenders to
score.
None
of the newly bought defender by Atletico Madrid got feature in the match.
Adama
was having a fantastic first game back at Barça and one more mazy race across
the pitch made the Camp Nou stand on its feet.
Ronaldo
Araujo got the third goal as Alves crossed for Pique to go to the crossbar from
the free kick. From the bounce back, Ferran Torres cut his aerobatic kick yet
it dropped to Araujo who wasted no time to put the ball behind Oblak.
After
the half time break, things got worse for Atletico when Dani Alves thundered in
the fourth goal from the edge of the area after running, unmark, on to a loose
ball. His celebration was even better than Alba’s standing before the main
stand arms outstretched as his name echoed around the Camp Nou.
Simeone
wasted no more time and made three changes immediately and it was Joao Felix
who he substituted leaving Suarez on. Barcelona’s third all-time top scorer
headed in Atletico’s second goal with his next chance from Jose header from Paul’s
corner kick, suarez wasted no time and head the ball in behind Ter Stegen,
though he did not celebrate, he apologizes because His name had been applauded
by Barcelona supporters before the game.
Atletico
thought they were back in the game then there was another reason to believe
when man of the moment Alves issued a straight red for a stud down the calf
foul on Carrasco.
In
25 minutes, left before the end of the match Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was
brought in to replace Adama
Few
minutes before the final whistle, Simeone ran into Xavi’s technical area to
retrieve a ball that had gone out of play as Atletico tried to beat the clock
with two more goals. And when Aubameyang felt he had been pulled back by Wass,
Xavi’s brother Oscar was issued a straight red card for dissent. Xavi was next
to complain and referee Jesus Gil warn across by issuing him the yellow.
Wass
foul Aubameyang the next time he tried to race away and this time he was booked
and so was Hector Herrera for a flailing arm into Sergio Busquets face.
Xavi
was on the sidelines but after six minutes of added time he was
celebrating. The victory gave Barcelona the opportunity to be back in the
Champions League places, while Atletico Madrid, in constant defensive disarray,
are not yet.
