<p>A recap of the action from Barcelona comeback win against Atletico Madrid.</p> <p align="justify"><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.barcablaugranes.com/">Barcelona</a> notched another hugely important scrappy win, this time against their (currently) closest rivals for the 2015-16 La Liga title. Atletico Madrid had gotten off to a better start, scoring first through Koke, but Barcelona clawed back with goals from <span>Lionel Messi</span> and Luis Suarez. The visitors could’ve had a better chance of a second half comeback had it not been for their extremely aggressive play which led to two red cards.</p>

<p align="justify">The match started with impressive pressure from Atletico players all over the pitch. The visitors were extremely quick to close down every inch of space and wasted no time in sending at least one player right into the face of the Barcelona ball-carrier. While this was a largely expected tactic, it seemed to catch Barcelona off guard as Atletico quickly managed to get plenty of zone-time and threatened through a long range shot and two corner kicks. Barça defended the two corner kicks with relative ease, but the Catalan defense needed plenty of help from goalkeeper <span>Claudio Bravo</span> on Saúl Ñíguez's left-footed drive that seemed destined for the far post.</p>
<p align="justify">Barcelona slowly started their possession game going, but Atletico remained the better and more dangerous team on the pitch. And while Barcelona still seemed to be searching for their attacking identity, Atletico's attacks looked fluid and deadly. That coupled with the recently found inability to defend in first halves could only lead to one thing - an early Atletico Madrid lead. Juanfran played though Saul who jumped past the slipping <span>Jordi Alba</span> and had plenty of time to find a receiver for his cross. His pass found the wide open Koke and with no defender in sight the midfielder could pick his spot and send the visitors in front.</p>
<p align="justify">While Atletico's press eased up at times, Barcelona continued to struggle with the ball, with the distribution from the back suffering the most. The hosts didn't produce their first good looking attacking move until the 17th minute when Messi found Alves who half-volleyed a great ball on goal, but a diving José Giménez prevented what seemed a certain goal. Atletico found it much easier to threaten in the opening 20 minutes, something Augusto Fernández showed nicely on his 20-yard shot as defenders were seen backing off so that the Argentinian could send a shot just wide of goal.</p>
<p align="justify">But the tides were changing and Barcelona were from one minute to the next able to threaten more and create better chances, a performance that peaked in the final third of the first half. First, in the 29th minute Iniesta played a one-two with an Atletico defender before sending a perfect pass to the middle to Suarez, who wasted no time in sending a good shot on goal, but Jan Oblak produced an even better save.</p>
<p align="justify">The very next minute Barça showcased some brilliant ball movement in attack, first attacking down the right side and later changing sides. There Neymar sent a through ball to Jordi Alba who didn't panic. He waited for an opening to get the ball to Messi who was in a good position and made no mistake in tying the game. Atletico reacted well to conceding, launching a quick attack from the ensuing kickoff, but Barcelona managed to fend off the pressure and just eight minutes later Barcelona were in front. <span>Dani Alves</span> sent a perfect long-ball over the defense to Suarez who was able to control the ball and beat Oblak.</p>
<p align="justify">Frustration started to brew on Atletico's side and the persistent fouling, which was ever-present, started to become more and more brutal. And even though Alberto Undiano Mallenco was slow to reach for the card, Atletico had three yellow cards after 42 minutes. He probably should've shown a couple more because maybe then Filipe Luis wouldn't have "attempted" an absolutely disgusting studs-to-the-knee challenge on Messi just before the halftime whistle to rightfully get shown a direct red card. Luckily, the arguably best player in the world was able to continue.</p>
<p align="justify">Without a left-back, Diego Simeone was forced to make a halftime substitution, leaving midfielder Gabi on the bench and replaced him with Jesús Gámez. Despite playing a man down, Atletico continued to be very dangerous as Barcelona often seemed content to allow the visitors play while the Catalans would wait for their chances on the counter attack. It was a plan similar to some games Barcelona would wish to quickly forget, like <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/la-liga/teams/valencia">Valencia</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/la-liga/teams/deportivo-la-coruna">Deportivo La Coruña</a>.</p>
<p align="justify">In the 56th minute this "plan" almost came to bite them as twice Yannick Carrasco made things happen for Atletico. First, he slalomed past three Barcelona defenders before Gerard Pique dispossessed him. Moments later, Carrasco was causing havoc on the right side, sending a perfect cross in front of goal where from in close <span>Antoine Griezmann</span> acrobatically tipped the ball on goal but somehow didn't beat Bravo.</p>
<p align="justify">Atletico continued to threaten and it appeared that at times panic started to seep into the Barcelona defenders. Possession was all too often lost too easily, clearances were poor and positioning was often off the mark. Still, Bravo didn't have to make many saves during this stretch. Barcelona rarely attacked in the opening 20 minutes but when they did they were able to threaten. Messi and company managed to outplay the defense in the 65th minute, but Suarez was unable to get a shot off, but he retained possession. And while running with the ball away from goal to the corner flag he was mowed down by Diego Godin, earning himself a second yellow card and an early bath.</p>
<p align="justify">The long stoppage saw Barcelona replace Ivan Rakitić with birthday-boy and former Atletico-man Arda Turan. Simeone had to make a change to (again) restock his defensive line, this time sacrificing Griezmann to put Stefan Savić on the pitch. After the restart, Messi immediately tried his luck from the tough-angle free kick, but Oblak was ready for it.</p>
<p align="justify">Simeone was also forced into his third change, in the 76th minute, when Fernández picked up what appeared to be a left knee injury. He was replaced by Thomas Partey. Two minutes later, Barcelona threatened again, this time through Arda, who received a good ball from <span>Sergio Busquets</span>, but his far post shot just missed the target. Another two minutes later Alves missed from distance.</p>
<p align="justify">In the 82nd minute, Barcelona made their second change, replacing Alves with Sergi Roberto. One would've expected that Barcelona, playing with a two-man advantage, would mean a continuous onslaught on goal, but that was not the case. Barcelona were attacking, but with little to no urgency and there was always a pass or two too many. This resulted in a heart-pounding final stretch of the game as just one lucky bounce or good play would've left Barcelona without a win. But that did not happen and Barcelona were able to leave the pitch with three points and in sole possession of the La Liga lead.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.barcablaugranes.com/">Barcelona</a> may have taken a giant step towards the <i>La Liga</i> title with a great 2-1 comeback win over <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.intothecalderon.com/">Atlético Madrid</a> at Camp Nou, thanks to goals from <span>Lionel Messi</span> and Luis Suárez, with Koke scoring for the visitors. In what felt like a league final, the <i>Blaugrana</i> played a great match and sustained Atleti's toughness en route to a giant victory. There are still 17 matches to go for the Catalan giants, but they are certainly heavy championship favorites after today.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>FIRST HALF</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As expected, the match started with Atlético bringing pressure to Barça's buildup play, troubling the hosts' passing and recovering the ball close to the box. The <i>Colchoneros</i> forced <span>Claudio Bravo</span> to a fantastic save, and their intensity brought them a goal. A cross by Saúl found an open Koke, who finished the play with a pretty shot to score the opener.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Barça had problems with creativity after the goal, suffering to break through the <i>Rojiblancos</i> barrier in front of the box. But the <i>Blaugrana </i>slowly improved, and showed patience to find good chances. They did, and capitalized. Thirty minutes in, a fantastic passing sequence involving every midfield and attacking Barça player ended up with a beautiful grounded cross by Alba for a first-touch shot by Messi and the game-tying goal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Eight minutes later, a sensational long pass by <span>Dani Alves</span> found Luis Suárez, who used his body to shield the defender and shot between the keeper's legs to give Barça the lead.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The game got nervous towards halftime, and Filipe Luís crossed the line with a violent kick to Messi's knee, which got the Atleti full-back a red card. Heading into the locker room, Barça had the lead and the number advantage on the pitch.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>SECOND HALF</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With ten men on the field, Atleti did not get any more defensive. They went up the field and looked for their equalizer. Ferreira Carrasco and his runs created hell on Barça's backline, and one of his crosses found <span>Antoine Griezmann</span>, who came close to tying the game, but Bravo once again saved the day with a ridiculous goal-stopping move with his left foot.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Atleti looked more and more dangerous, but one giant mistake by the team's most experienced player ruined their afternoon. Captain Diego Godín made an unnecessary, hard tackle on Suárez that earned the <i>Colchonero</i> defender a second booking and a red card. Being down to only nine men at Camp Nou was just too much for Diego Simeone's soldiers to handle.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With plenty of space on the pitch to work with, Barça had the ball for pretty much all of the remaining minutes, and patiently waited to find a third goal. It didn't come, but they kept the ball so the visitors wouldn't have any scoring opportunities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the end, a fantastic comeback victory, the isolated lead at the top of the table, and a huge step towards a championship. Perfect afternoon.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Barcelona: </b>Bravo; Alves (Roberto), Piqué, Mascherano, Alba; Busquets, Rakitic (Arda), Iniesta; Messi, Suárez, Neymar</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Goals: <i>Messi (30'), Suárez (38')</i></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Atlético Madrid: </b>Oblak; Juanfran, Godín, Giménez, Luís; Gabi (Gámez), Augusto (Thomas); Saúl, Koke, Carrasco; Griezmann (Savic)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Goals: <i>Koke (10')</i></p>

<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.barcablaugranes.com/">Barcelona</a> are up a goal and now a man on Atletico Madrid after Brazilian defender, Filipe Luis, was sent off for this ridiculously bad tackle on <span>Lionel Messi</span>. Frustrated by blowing a lead to the Blaugrana, the Atleti player's rough play has finally cost them.</p>

<p>A high challenge and no attempt at the ball is a clear intent to hurt a player. A red card was rightfully shown. Thankfully Lionel Messi escaped serious injuty.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Styles make fights.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This simple sentence actually means a lot in the fighting world. All of the great boxing matches are surrounded by this question: which style of fighting will come out on top? Some are ferocious strikers who can knock you out in just a few rounds with reckless abandon. Others like to take a methodical approach. They might no be as great at striking as their opponent, but have great defending, strategy and will take the fight to distance, doing enough to win even with less firepower.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Styles also make fights in football, especially when it comes to the <i>La Liga</i> match between <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.barcablaugranes.com/">Barcelona</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.intothecalderon.com/">Atlético Madrid</a> on Saturday. The <i>Blaugrana </i>have perhaps the most ferocious striking force in the world with the 'MSN' trio, and can knock out any opponent with their blitzling style and the second best scoring offense in the league. The <i>Colchoneros</i> like to take punches, defend and beat their opponents with less offense and more strategy, taking the big games to distance with the best defense in Spain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This has become a great rivalry over the last few years, and every fight has a new story. How is this one going to end? That's where we turn to you, Blaugranes! Use the comment section below and share your prediction of the final score of today's game. Good luck!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The next <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.barcablaugranes.com/">Barcelona</a> match is upon us! The <i>Blaugrana</i> open up the Camp Nou doors this Saturday to welcome <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.intothecalderon.com/">Atlético Madrid</a> for what could very well be the title-deciding fixture in this season of <i>La Liga</i>. And coach <span>Luis Enrique</span> has named the squad for the game.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are no surprises on the list, but there are certainly good news for the Catalan giants: <span>Jordi Alba</span>, who missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, and Arda Turan, out of the last match with fever, both return to the squad. It's a special match for the Turkish midfielder, who ends the first month of his Barça career against his former team. Another injury doubt, Neymar Jr., is also on the list.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Marc Bartra</span>, Jordi Masip, Sandro Ramírez and Adriano Correia did not make the squad per coach's decision. These are the eighteen men called up by Enrique for Saturday:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Goalkeepers: </b>1. Marc-André ter Stegen, 13. <span>Claudio Bravo</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Defenders: </b>3. Gerard Piqué, 6. <span>Dani Alves</span>, 14. <span>Javier Mascherano</span>, 18. Jordi Alba, 22. Aleix Vidal, 23. <span>Thomas Vermaelen</span>, 24. Jérémy Mathieu</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Midfielders: </b>4. Ivan Rakitic, 5. <span>Sergio Busquets</span>, 7. Arda Turan, 8. Andrés Iniesta, 20. <span>Sergi Roberto</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Forwards: </b>9. Luis Suárez, 10. <span>Lionel Messi</span>, 11. Neymar Jr., 17. Munir El-Haddadi</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Projected Starting Lineup (4-3-3):</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Bravo; Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Alba; Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta; Messi, Suárez, Neymar</i></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The match starts at 16:00 CET, and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.</p>
