In front of nearly 80,000 spectators at the Camp Nou, Barcelona hosted Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
The first half was known as a club between the two teams, as there were many opportunities, but the final touch was absent, as I knew three warnings for the Atletico Madrid team. The second half, the guest team took the initiative to attack the goal of “Victor Valdez”, and in the 56th minute, after a wonderful shot, “Diego Ribas” managed to open the score. After this goal, the Atletico Madrid players retreated to the defense to keep the score, but after a defensive gag, the Brazilian “Neymar” equalized the score for Barca in the 71st minute, so the match ended in a 1/1 draw, pending the return match next week that will be held in Madrid.
The return match will take place next Wednesday at Bayern’s ‘Allianz Arena’, where the hosts are only required to score a goalless draw to ensure qualification for the semi-finals.
