The game: The plan was perfect Simeone
To bypass the defending champion Atletico has implemented the same tactical plan as last week. Over time, everyone starts to know the recipe. Namely laundry every moment, surgical tactical mastery and ability to outsmart anyone. Even this Barça, with its MSN, has not found the right answer to reverse the balance of power. 11 and 11 against, the Colchoneros smothered the Catalans too embarrassed by pressing to ensure first revival worthy of the name. Despite a widely ball possession to his advantage, Barca woke up half an hour from the end by offering some situations. Too late revival that eventually led the second goal for Madrid.
Players: Griezmann and Saul to the top, Messi ghostly
Beyond the individual aspect, it is mainly the infallible collective Colchoneros of which must be (again) ahead. Solidarity, tenacity, fighting spirit and realism, but it is also an individual talent key to baculer a common destiny. In this role, Antoine Griezmann was perfect. A victorious head before the break, a penalty of full composure in the final minutes to sit the qualification, the French has offered a dream evening. In the middle, Saul Niguez was phenomenal. A recovery in the dry and in the gift of self, the Spanish media was perfect. Especially technically. His decisive pass for the first goal, a love outside of the left, testifies.
Note the capital performance of Diego Godin and Filipe Luis behind. One control Suarez, another Messi. Defensive monsters. Barça side, there will not be a lot of positives to take apart Javier Mascherano. The biggest disappointment is to the credit of Lionel Messi. Very discreet and off by Filipe Luis, Argentina had not donned his costume savior. Ditto for Neymar, nervous and too rough. Without an overactive Pulga, the defending champion was left short of solutions.

What could change everything: If the referee had whistled a penalty for Barca …
92nd minute: Barca comes to cash a second goal from Antoine Griezmann and flows to the collision to try to score a goal synonymous extension. The edge of the box, with his hand against Gabi a center of Iniesta. The Atletico captain makes his gesture in the area. It is limited, but the referee could whistle penalty instead of a free kick … Messi sent over the bar.
The stat: 1 ball by Barça in the first period in the Madrid area
This is probably the most telling statistics of this quarter-final. During the first 45 minutes, the Barca players have seen the Madrid area by far. They hit a ball in the box Colchoneros of the first period. A staggering figure that shows how the Catalans beat.
The tweet that says out loud what some people think a low
The declara: Jordi Alba
“I think our elimination has nothing to do with the referees and the decisions that were taken. Atlético is an uncomfortable team to play, we know. It shows when we face them. (…) It has to be shame in the dressing room, we slaughtered “
the issue:. How is Europe is the best team in collapsed?
It only took ten days for Barça lose certainties that seemed unshakable. The slap in the Clasico was not an epiphenomenon nor surprising setback for Sociedad. The stammering unexpected loss of the continental crown in record time. Barca comes to cash a series of blows that sent him to the mat. The question is whether Barca manage to get up.
Obviously, few people doubt because Barca is Barca. The champions teams of pride and always end up right the chin. It will meet FC Barcelona that existed before the last international break. He who tormented and crushed his national and continental opponents of his weight. Today Barça one is missing. As Lionel Messi. For three matches, the Pulga is next to the plate. Against Atletico, the Argentine has absolutely not affected the debates. Unable to accelerate or direct the play, he dragged his spleen on the lawn of Calderon.
The lack of Messi’s success is a problem. But that’s not the only one. The duel with Madrid highlighted problems in all gaming sectors. In defense with approximate raises, in the middle with players less biting and attack suffering from poor form of his genius. Even for Barca is too much. Its European course ended with an off will leave traces. But there is still a King’s Cup and La Liga to defend. Luis Enrique has work ahead.
