Share<\/a>Half time: Atletico Madrid 1-2 Barcelona agg 3-2<\/p>\n What a ludicrous half of football. It was relentless from the off and we will all be thankful for 15 minutes to catch out breath. I am sure it will be more of the same after the break.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45+2 mins: Lopez allows a pass to go behind because it takes a nick off a Atletico player.

All is fair in love an war.<\/p>\n Lopez fires a pass to Olmo into the box, he takes a touch and wants to shoo but goes down under pressure. He wants a penalty but the referee is unmoved.

It is end to end stuff and ferocious at the same time.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 12 mins: Atletico have a corner on the right \u2026 it is swung to the back post where Ferran Torres gets confused and heads it back into the danger area.

Here we go!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n I always feel sorry for the young mascots on Champions League<\/a> nights.

Could he make the difference later on?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Alternatively, you can join Rob Smyth for Liverpool v PSG, if you\u2019re a bit more mainstream.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Starting lineups<\/p>\n Atletico (4-4-2): Musso; Molina, Le Normand, Lenglet, Ruggeri; Simeone, Koke, Llorente; Lookman; Griezmann; Alvarez<\/p>\n Subs: Oblak, Esquivel, Mnedoza, Cardoso, Sorloth, Alex Baena, Almada, Vargas, Gonzalez, Dani Martinez, Bonar, Julio Diaz<\/p>\n Barcelona (4-2-3-1): Joan Garcia; Kounde, Eric Garcia, Martin, Cancelo; Pedri, Gavi; Yamal, Olmo, Fermin Lopez; Ferran Torres<\/p>\n Subs: Szczesny, Kochen, Balde, Araujo, Lewndowski, Rashford, Casado, De Jong, Bardghji, Cortes, Xavi Espert, Marques<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Pre-match reading.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Preamble<\/p>\n Losing 2-0 at home in the first leg of a Champions League<\/a> knockout tie is never a particularly good idea but this is the situation Barcelona find themselves in. The Catalans, however, will not feel defeated despite having to travel to the capital to face the miserly Diego Simeone and his charges. A mere 10 days ago Barcelona came out on top in the Wanda Metropolitano, although a repeat of the 2-1 scoreline will not be enough.<\/p>\n
