The first major opportunity fell to 17-year-old Lamine Yamal, who shot wide and later Lewandowski and Pedri missed their chances to score.

Atletico Madrid took full advantage of Barcelona’s wastefulness, breaking the deadlock just before halftime.

A long kick out by Oblak was crossed by Giuliano Simeone to Julian Alvarez who found the back of the net.
