Suárez wins LaLiga title

92 & # 39; Peeep Peeep Peeeeeeep! What was this title after David Beckham was sent off in the defeat of the World Cup in England against Argentina? "10 brave lions, a stupid boy", I think that was. It could also describe Atlético Madrid and Diego Costa tonight. Los Rojiblancos is a maniacal player who pushed Barça to the end, but who was finally defeated by the goals of Luis Suárez and Lionel Messi. Seven days from the end, the hosts have 11 points ahead of Atlético at the top of the La Liga and only one an amazing turnaround can deny them a second consecutive Spanish title now. Thank you for reading!

90 & # 39; Two minutes of time added on at Camp Nou.

Except an incredible return of Atlético in the last minutes, Barcelona has 11 points ahead in the lead and, even though they will not yet be mathematically assured of first place, the championship will be anything but theirs..

87 & # 39; 2-0 in Barcelona! Messi leads a Blaugrana attack on the right and, having blocked his progress towards the goal in the area, he recovers the ball and ends coldly in the next pole! There is a brief wait while VAR checks to see if Argentina was out of play during the preparation, but it was not.

86 & # 39; Barcelona brings in Nelson Semedo for Sergi Roberto By the way, just before the goal.

Goooal! Suárez winds up in a magnificent shot that beats Oblak's dive, kisses the right post and bounces in the nets! 1-0 in Barcelona!

83 & # 39; Messi takes the ball and pulls one more timebut a deviation eases the pressure and Oblak gathers with relative comfort.

81 & # 39; Ufff. Atletico is not millions of kilometers away from the goal they need, while Saúl goes near Morata and the attacker tries a pass of six meters is cut by Lenglet.

80 & # 39; Barcelona makes another change, replacing Coutinho by Carles Aleñá.

79 & # 39; Coutinho gives it to Suárez and advances in the box to recover the return, but it is cut off. Roberto then hooks a center to the back post, but Atlético takes it up again. The defensive performances from outside have been excellent, although even if they manage to keep Barca out, they still have to find a goal to stay alive..

76 & # 39; Messi tries to give Alba a free kick, but Atlético when Thomas breaks, Lenglet fires a yellow card and drops the Ghanaian. From the resulting play piece, Giménez is wide.

Piqué was reserved for his protests as a result of this free kick decision, by the way.

72 & # 39; Griezmann smartly wins Roberto's free kick just before Atlético's semifinal, before Morata scores a draw against Piqué. The crossing position is good on the left. Griezmann rocks the ball … and Rodri comes out of the target! It was a real chance for smash and grab; Giménez arrived in a better position behind him.

70 & # 39; Saúl receives a richly deserved yellow card for a poor challenge on Busquets.

68 & # 39; Double backup of Oblak! First of all, he refuses Messi again, before getting up to prevent Malcom from scoring from the lost ball. The first stop in particular was a successful stop.

66 & # 39; Malcom replaced Arthur a few minutes agoI have neglected to inform you.

65 & # 39; Pique gives a dangerous free kick on the left corner of the penalty area. He is not happy with the decision. Griezmann stands above, but draws a cross on Ter Stegen.

63 & # 39; Again, Messi runs and hits from his former shooting position and Oblak saves again (after briefly threatening to drop the ball, certainly). Messi has, however, gone up a notch in the last 10 minutes or so.

62 & # 39; Suárez should score! Messi again runs menacingly on a defensive off Atletico, before giving the ball to the Uruguayan, who took off left and in the shooting range . He inflates it however. Oblak saves, and anyway, it seemed like it was going badly. "Suárez is not playing tonight," said Michael Robinson on Spanish television.

60 & # 39; Messi passes again in front of a group of red and white shirts and in the space to hit, but his shot is slightly missed and bounces off two legs of Atletico and in the arms of Oblak.

59 & # 39; Morata immediately enters the actionThomas whips a low center just behind the striker and forces him to attempt a similar effort to the scorpion. He can not do it.

58 & # 39; Atlético change course, former Real Madrid player Álvaro Morata gets booed by local fansand Filipe Luis giving him the place.

55 & # 39; Messi passes the best of Messi in all Koke, moves away from the midfield with a nice first touch and advances to his favorite shooting position (You know this one: drift from right to left, right at the edge of the "D"). However, it surprises us all by placing a weak shot in the arms of Oblak.

51 & # 39; Barca speaks well of it and offers Busquets an opportunity for shooting, proving that he is precisely the wrong man for this occasion. by crushing a wild effort well off target.

49 & # 39; The Atleti enjoy a brief period of possession, but before the guests can recover it and enjoy a little longer. however, Los Rojiblancos then prompted Saúl to move forward and, if he beat Piqué, he will face Ter Stegen. It's a great if, however, and stung expertly closes the midfielder when he tries to burst through it. Good defense.

48 & # 39; Atlético's first attack aside, it's Barça's ball. Messi tries to plunge Alba into the space behind the bottom line of the visits, but Thomas understands.

46 & # 39; Atletico immediately wins a free kick that Roberto tries to equalize in a corner. Moreover, no change at half time for both sides.

Back on the sides, and we are on the road again.

Here's more about the red card for Diego Costa. Diego Simeone could be seen waiting to find an explanation from referee Jesús Gil as both teams split at halftime. Initial reports suggest that the attacker would have told him "puta made that bet you", a somewhat crude exclamation of irritation that translates literally to "the bitch's mother who gave you birth"..

Peep Peep Peep! At the Camp Nou, the score is zero, but the red card of Diego Costa means that Atletico will face a difficult battle in the second half.

48 & # 39; Again, Coutinho is getting closer, though this time, Oblak's backup does not have to be as heroic as it was before. Correa has a brief opening glow for Correa in the opposing penalty area, but when Barca picks him up, he charges on the other end. Messi's cross finds Coutinho's head at the last post. However, he sends a rebounding effort to the goal that Oblak takes without too many stories.

46 & # 39; Three minutes of time added on at the end of the first half.

45 & # 39; Come back to Barcelona. Rakitic shoots the ball from far but it is blocked, before the local team takes it away right away. When Atlético recovers the possession and tries to take a break, Barça's men's advantage is painfully obvious.

43 & # 39; Rakitic's first contact with Messi gives Argentina a chance to shoot from the edge of the box, but his low shot is directly to Oblak.

41 & # 39; Suárez is looking to drag the Brazilian into space on the left side of the box, but he's overcooking his pass and he's lagging behind for a goal from Atletico. Seriously, what an act of idiocy at Costa! Atlético started well the evening.

40 & # 39; "Coutinho looks much cleaner tonight," notes Carlos Martínez, commentator at Movistar +. He has moved closer to Barcelona before. but for the brilliance of Oblak between the sticks, he would have it.

37 & # 39; Uffff, Godin; you are a lucky man. The Uruguayan goes back in the general direction of Oblak and Suárez is the first. If he can find Messi with his cut, it is 1-0. Fortunately for Godin and Atlético, however, he does not do it.

34 & # 39; Atletico changes colors and corrects Correa for Arias, Thomas moving from midfield to right side. It is unclear whether Arias has been affected or whether it is a Simeone tweak motivated by 10 men.

33 & # 39; Rodri is down and needs a treatmentbut it looks like he'll be fine.

28 & # 39; There was also a yellow card for Giménez as a result of this expulsion, probably for some sort of complaint.

Costa seems to say something weird to the referee, who does not hesitate to throw a red card for the Spanish international.. We will have to see what Señor Gil wrote in his report. What a shame for this game as a football show. And if, as it appears, he has exceeded the target, what folly on the part of Costa.

28 & # 39; Red card for Diego Costa!

27 & # 39; What safeguard of Oblak! Coutinho fights his way between Atlético's central defenders and his entry into the box, but his low score towards the corner is beaten by the Atletico goalkeeper! Wonderful keeping Slovenian.

26 & # 39; Thomas is the first man to leave in the notebook of the referee.

21 & # 39; At the very moment when I hear such optimistic ratings for Atletico, Messi gets a free kick on the first territory of Messi … but, unlike Villarreal and Espanyol before them, Los Rojiblancos can breathe a sigh of relief when the Argentinian slaps his shot on the crossbar.

20 & # 39; Griezmann finds himself in a shooting position similar to that of Suárez, but spends all his time in the throat of Ter Stegen. It has become a more equal affair, however; Atlético and Griezmann grow there.

19 & # 39; At the top of Barça, go to the other end, but when Suárez is found in the shooting range to the right of the penalty bench, he sclasses his effort high, wide and handsome.

17 & # 39; There is an opening for Atletico … but when the ball comes back to Arias at the back of the box, the Colombian takes too long to get shot and sees his shot blocked. Shortly after, the Rojiblancos give Thomas a promising position in the box, but the midfielder fails to be understood quickly enough. After a first 15 that was all Barça, the visitors had two better minutes.

14 & # 39; Barça touched the wood! Messi plays a ball advanced Messa in Alba against Alba, who controls, advance on Oblak and strikes the goalkeeper of Atletico … but is denied access to the post! Moments ago, Messi had dipped a small ball on Suárez's right chest at the far post, but Uruguyan's touch dropped him and he missed the goal.

ten & # 39; Coutinho's shot is deflected from behind for a corner that the Brazilian will take. He is played short and finally reaches the opposite side, where Suárez cuts his center..

9 & # 39; Atlético has finally set up a movement of any substanceFilipe Luis swaying on a center on which Costa is heading well.

7 & # 39; Lenglet fell into a pile after Costa jumped to cut a bullet in the back and seem to accidentally move an arm in the French as he does. No action of referee Jesús Gil or VAR, however.

5 & ​​# 39; Up to here everything has been Barcelona. Suárez manages to fight his way to the defense of Atlético, but he is exhausted before Rakitic almost makes Uruguayan fall into the shot. Griezmann takes his first touch and gets a handful of whistles, but no more than theat.

It will be interesting to hear the reception of Antoine Griezmann when he will finally have the ball touch.. Rumor has it that he's settling in Barcelona this summer, a season after rejecting the film Blaugrana in his infamous documentary "The Decision". However, the polls of supporters of Sport and Mundo Deportivo gave respective results of 91% and 92% against the signature of the contract of 28 years. and the local crowd should whistle the attacker.

1 & # 39; Barcelona advance right away, finding Jordi Alba in the crossing space. However, the ball from the left-back does not find a Blaugrana shirt.

Peeeep! In progress!

Come teams Camp Nou!

Having never led his Atlético to a win in Barcelona, ​​the boss Diego Simeone seems to apply an uncertain mantra to his past, his Camp Nou hoodoo, said yesterday at its pre-match press conference: "The fact that we have never won [under me]it makes me very optimistic. "

The referee tonight is Jesús Gil Manzano, by the way.

Whatever it is, let's go back to the first of my big "ifs". Yes, Atletico can reduce the lead to five points … but that forces them to do something that they have not managed for 13 years: beat Barcelona in their own backyard. As we mentioned previously, the Rojiblancos have not defeated the Catalans at Camp Nou since February 2009, when Fernando Torres had scored a brace in a 3-1 win in La Liga.

To be honest, it's not easy to see Barça give up even a five-point lead over his last seven games. Anyway, It should not be forgotten that they drew with Atlético in Wanda in November, so a win on the outside today would also give Los Colchoneros an edge. if the camps finish level (and it's even bigger though, clearly).

If Atletico wins tonight, though – and it's a big "if" – a Barcelona advantage that was 10 points lower than a week ago will have been cut in half to five, and, Although we do not yet have a title race apart and shoulder to shoulder, we are going – as the cover page of the AS of today – dose of excitation will have been injected into the run-in.

After all, avoid defeat tonight and it's hard to see them lose enough points – that they are eight years in advance or 11 years in advance – as follows: Huesca (a), Real Sociedad (h), Alaves (a), Levante (h), Celta Vigo (a), Getafe (h) ) and Eibar (a).

Despite moving to the quarterfinals of the Champions League at Old Trafford on Wednesday, the Barcelona team is as strong as coach Ernesto Valverde could name, and not without reason.; Leaders know that tonight's win over Atletico will leave them 11 points more than their closest (and unique) rivals with seven games to play. Effectively, something other than losing to Los Rojiblancos will leave them with one hand on the championship trophy.

The Atletico Madrid replaces: Adam, Savic, Juanfran, Vitolo, Kalinic, Correa and Morata.

Barcelona replaces: Cillessen, Semedo, Malcom, Murillo, Prince, Aleñá and Umtiti.

There is just one change on the side of Atletico who beat Girona on TuesdayFor his part, Diego Costa, Antoine Griezmann, ahead of Álvaro Morata, who passes on the bench.

Gerard Piqué, Ivan Rakitic and Lionel Messi are back on the bench of Villarreal playoffs midweek and make their return in the formation of Barcelona., with Samuel Umtiti, Malcom and the suspended train Arturo Vidal.

A little more than one hour before the kick off, and we have the news of the team!

Of course, if we wonder if Atlético can get closer to less than five points of Barça, they will also look over their shoulders, Real Madrid could end the day two points from the end.

President of Atlético Enrique Cerezo hopes a lot of goals in tonight's match and, his side being no longer in the competition, he also wants to see Messi and others. Raises the Champions League this season in his own backyard.

The last time Atlético Madrid beat Barcelona in Barcelona? Back in February 2006When two goals from future Liverpool star Fernando Torres and another from Liverpool, player Maxi Rodríguez earned Los Rojiblancos a 3-1 league win over this season's eventual champions. Henrik Larsson answered for the Blaugrana, in case you were wondering.

Atlético landed in Barcelona, ​​where he never won at Camp Nou under the leadership of Diego Simeone. Can he put an end to this gloomy balance tonight?

Diego Simeone received a timely boost in his offensive options before the shock of La Liga from Atlético Madrid against Barcelona.

Some essential readings: here is the news of the team and the tips of the starting lineup

Another little positive statistic for Atlético fans is that Antoine Griezmann never scored at Camp Nou.. The fact that he could eventually break his duck in a Barcelona jersey is another story, but for now, the French striker hopes to add something to his record in the league tonight.

As always, we have prepared a short guide on how and where to watch the match.

In 14 attempts in the league, Diego Simeone has never beaten Barcelona. Atlético 's manager will have to reverse these statistics today to have any chance to prevent the defending champions from retaining their title.
