The second half was just as intense, with both teams creating scoring chances. However, it was Atletico Madrid who eventually took the lead, thanks to a stunning strike from none other than former Crystal Palace flop, Matheus Cunha.

For Barcelona, the loss was a bitter pill to swallow. The team had been in good form recently, but they were unable to contain Atletico Madrid’s attacking prowess. Barcelona’s coach, Xavi Hernandez, was disappointed with the result, saying “We had the game under control, but we let it slip away. We need to learn from our mistakes and move on.”
