Barcelona dominated the first half with a thunderous shot from Messi and a superb Louis Saurez goal skinning 4 Athletico defenders and beating the goal keeper with a deft flick from the outside of his right foot.
............
But back came Atletico with a fine goal and with Griezman and Fernando Torres combining well, they dominated the closing stages. Cillesen was Jekyll and Hyde in the Barcelona goal, with athletic saves, but poor directions to his defenders and some poor clearances. Atletiko had at least 5 point blank chances in the last 20 minutes.
.............
The second leg in Barcelona ought to be just as good.
