Athletico Madrid start from right to left.
FC Barcelona's Defence is Strong, because a lot of Outsides are given, in the meanwhile Koke has the first shot which is way of target.
And that's what Barcelona didn't want, that is to give away the balls during their attack. First foul of the game, Fernando Torres on Ivan Rakitic.
Neymar tries his luck from centre and just misses as Jan Oblak makes a hard save look easy, Barcelona take the first corner of their game. After the 1st Minute Barcelona have looked promising by keeping the ball in the attack.
Messi thinks for a foul, but the referee isn't convinced.
Sergio Busquets fouled Torres very badly and Torres screams in pain. Luis Enrique wasting no time is out. Torres and Griezmann try to break down the shackles but Pique was too good to cut out.
Griezmann tries to find Torres, He finds him, Torres Rolls to shoot but then he is Offsided.
Wonderful possession by Barcelona as they try to sneek the ball in to the box, Messi tries his luck with the right foot But The ball flies away. Diego Simeone is angry on something, God Knows What, While Luis Enrique is Calm
Neymar wants a foul, he fights for it, but the foul is given in Madrid's favour. Athletico gets a chance to zoom the ball in but it lost, which results in a corner. That corner was useful for barcelona as Messi brought the ball away but fails to pass it ahead. Luis Suarez has less touches on the ball yet.
The Match is like a Tit-for-Tat, Barcelona Break Madrid stops them, Madrid break Barcelona stop them. Diego wants his players to perform more better as he keeps on shouting. It is 25 minutes off, both team have shots but none can convert the shot into a goal.
POSSESSION- Barca 72%-28%
Messi and Dani, like before share a wonderful Chemistry but they don't seem to complete their passes now. Ter Stegen sweeps the ball ahead of danger.

Clearly, Barcelona has had many chances to score but they were not so effective.

Suarez tries his luck, should not be called luck as he was very near to the goal post, but he failed to put it behind the net.

Balls seems to be rolling only in the mid-section of the ground as both the teams have a strong defence.
