Just four days after losing to Barcelona in La Liga, Atletico Madrid produced a perfect performance to claim their first victory at the Camp Nou since 2006. Goals from Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth secured victory as they took a big step towards the Champions League semi-final.
While Barca warmed up for this huge match with a comfortable victory, Atletico lost 2-1 at Sevilla. Diego Simeone’s side may have failed, but it was clear the experienced Argentine had one eye on the second leg as he rested 10 players.
Those few extra days of rest could prove vital as Atletico hope to weather an early storm and then display the same kind of ruthlessness they showed in the first leg, scoring on two of their three shots on target.
