Not surprised, all of Barca's recent issues, from defense and lack of creativity up front, to legal issues, you just can't beat a team that is in such good form and wants it more than you do.
Next round will be very interesting to watch, even if Barca made it to the next round, they would've faced an even tougher team, rather face a good challenge up front now and get eliminated than just facing a weakened team and go on to the next round only to get shut down by a better team. Congrats to Athletico Madrid, hope they go far.
Barcelona struggled because they couldn't win a freekick every time they dived or get any opposition players off. Howard Webb let the game flow and Atletico played Barcelona off the park.
It's sad that Atletico Madrid might not be the same team next year. 500 million debt and the inevitable departure of Costa and Koke means La Liga will become a two horse league again. It'd be great to see them win the Champions League.
No red card and penalty, no party.
two madrid teams in the semi final

What a seaon for Atletico! If Cholo keeps this up he'll be remembered as a better coach than player!
