What a match this was xD unbelievable contest. Lots of Neymar drama (unfortunately) great game overall what a goal from Diego aswell and Iniesta's assist was sweet.
He did, a few calls were sound, but he was exaggerating and jumping in pain over simple fouls. I don't know why he does that, he has enough talent to have no need for diving.
Athletico Madrid defenders were on the brink of a red card, there was actually an instance in which a defender brought down Messi twice between 2-3 seconds and got no yellow card. But that's just the way the ref was doing his job. Athletico played more organized, parked the bus a bit, which I didn't really expect nor liked, but hey, it's still football imo. Barca lacked creativity and it's hard to score against such a focused and strong defense. Amazing goal by Diego..
I expected this to be a tough match, next one will be even more of a challenge, Athletico with such momentum, and the only big team in la liga that they still haven't beaten is Barca, very interesting to see how this will play out.

No Penalty No Party.

I think that Atletico can beat Barca but we'll have to wait and see as it's going to be one competetive close game.
