MESSI SINKS SIMEONE! Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona (0-1) La Liga 2019 - MATCH REVIEW | BugaLuis

Barcelona are back at the top of La Liga after a last minute goal from Lionel Messi that sink Atletico hearts and mostly rules them out of the La Liga title very early into the season. Antoine Griezmann was quiet in his first game against Atleti and Barça were bad for pretty much the whole game, but Lionel Messi broke Atlético’s hearts once again and scored a brilliant game-winner.

Barça were dominated from minute one of the game, with Atlético determined to press as high as possible and get the ball back in the most dangerous areas of the pitch. After a crazy blitz by the Colchoneros in the first 35 minutes Barça slowly grew into the game and created three big chances: first Lionel Messi robbed a ball in the final third and found Ivan Rakitic who couldn’t beat Jan Oblak in goal, then Antoine Griezmann passed it to Luis Suárez who fired a quick shot that went just wide, and finally Gerard Piqué headed a corner kick into the crossbar. Atleti looked tired and ready to concede, but they were saved by the halftime whisle.

Barça looked better to start the second half with more possession and all 10 outfield players inside the opponent’s half, but apart from a few shots from distance they couldn’t really create any chance to truly trouble Jan Oblak in goal. After defending for around 20 minutes the Colchoneros woke up and looked lively again, and they came very close to scoring on a shot by Koke that was brilliantly cleared off the line by Sergi Roberto.

The final 10 minutes looked like we were headed for a draw and neither team was going all out for a winning goal but a typical 1-2 between Luis Suarez and Leo Messi resulted in the argentinean putting it in the back of the net.

The full whistle came to end a game that Barça deserved to lose, but they didn’t because they have the GOAT.
