Live Commentary
Time:90'- Atletico Madrid
- Barcelona
90+4 That's the final whistle! A massive win for Atletico that plays into the evil hands of their bitter rivals Real! What a game!- 90+3 Barca are panicking, hoofing everything long in a frantic attempt to salvage a point...
90+1 Four minutes added time being played as Messi enters the book for no apparent reason.
90' Barca cross comes in from the right AND HENRY AT THE FAR POST SLIDING IN WITH THE FINISH BUT A BRILLIANT STOP BY FRANCO OFF THE POST AND INTO HIS ARMS! What odds on another goal here.
89' Atleti counter from that and Puyol slips to let Aguero in and he drills it across Valdes into the bottom right and it's 4-3!!!! Increible! Que drama! Nunca me lo visto en mi vida etc etc!- 88' Barca come forward now and Lopez falls over and Eto'o is in and Henry is screaming for it but he goes it alone and is crowded out of it before he can shoot! Poor decision from Eto'o.
- 87' A mix-up in the Barca defence and Aguero is through! He's one-on-one and must score but a DREADFUL first touch and Valdes slides out to clear!
- 82' Atleti go close again but the cross aimed for Aguero is blocked and ricochets wide!
- 80' Forlan to take the penalty then for his second on the night... A huge delay... AND FORLAN MAKES NO MISTAKE TO HAMMER IT INTO THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF THE GOAL! 3-3!
78' BARCA SUB: Sylvinho comes off for Caceres; ATLETICO SUB: Raul Garcia is replaced by Maniche.- 77' Sinama-Pongolle goes down in the box and surely that's a penalty but nothing given! He was pulled down Henry! Barca break but hang on, the referee is running over to speak to the assistant... and he's given the penalty!
- 76' Simao down the left plays a superb cross in for AGUERO WITH THE DOWNWARD HEADER TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT BUT VALDES GETS DOWN TO SAVE! Great stop by the Barca keeper.
- 75' Barca are all over Atleti now and Messi slides in but puts it wide!
- 73' Barca charge forward after that horror-miss, it's played through to Gudjohnsen and he's onside but Ufalusi is standing with his arm in the air, no flag, he's clean through and plays it to Henry with the tap in! 3-2! Kamikaze defending from Atleti!
- 72' Heitinga on the right, he whips over a brilliant far-post cross AND FORLAN MUST SCORE BUT HE HEADS IT WIDE FROM POINT-BLANK RANGE! WHAT A MISS! Dear oh dear.
- 71' Forlan goes down on the edge of the box but nothing given.
- 67' ATLETICO SUB: Sinama-Pongolle on for Maxi.
- 66' Assuncao booked for going into Alves at head height.
- 65' Aguero on the right, he cuts inside past Sylvinho, gets away from Marquez and he's in but a brilliant challenge by Puyol wins the ball and allows him to bring it away! Aguero is howling for a penalty, not because of Puyol's challenge but because Marquez clipped his heels beforehand, sending him off balance. Should have been a penalty.
- 62' Barca come forward but Henry's cross is poor, straight at Leo Franco with Messi waiting for it.
- 61' Forlan comes forward for Atletico, he gets away from Marquez and Sylvinho and drills it low across Valdes but he tips it around the post for a corner!
- 59' The hosts are in the ascendance now as Maxi wins a corner on the right which Simao will take... great delivery and it drops to Ujfalusi but he can't get a decent touch on it and the ball spins away and clear!
58' Simao to take, he swings it on to the penalty spot and Aguero somehow wins the header but it's at Valdes BUT HEITINGA COMES ACROSS TO CHEST IT THE OTHER WAY AND IT GOES JUST WIDE! Flag was up, Heitinga was offside.- 57' Alves is carded to taking Simao out as he ran on to a give-and-go with Forlan. Free-kick to Atletico on the left...
- 55' Atletico keeper Franco hammers a long one upfield, Maxi beats Marquez to the header and flicks it on to Aguero whose touch takes him away from Puyol AND HE DRAGS A LOW FINISH ACROSS VALDES AND INTO THE BOTTOM LEFT!! 2-2! The comeback is complete! Poor defending though.
- 54' Eto'o is played through, he holds off Lopez, he's one-on-one and must score but totally messes up the finish and wide! Terrible miss.
- 52' Puyol flies in on Aguero but somehow a free-kick is not given.
- 50' Good ball wide to Alves, who races towards the corner flag and cuts back inside but loses possession to hand it back to Atleti.
- 48' Raul Garcia is booked for a rough, late challenge on Messi.
46' Second half underway!- 45+2 A very, very good half of football draws to a close with Barca leading 2-1 and all three goals rather easy on the eye.
- 45' Two minutes of added time being played.
- 43' Barca come again but the low cross-shot from Messi goes well wide.
- 41' Messi gets it on the left again and he goes down in the area under Pablo's challenge but no penalty.
- 39' Maxi pokes the ball wide from the edge of the box. Barca break, Toure puts one through the middle and somehow Gudjohnsen is onside and one-on-one but he snatches at the finish and sends it skewing well wide! Terrible miss, how did he manage to mess that one up?
- 38' Simao sends the corner in and Valdes flaps but Barca hack it clear!
- 37' Lopez sends a high one towards the box, Aguero is in there, brilliant first touch to take it down, there are two defenders around him, it comes off Marquez and AGUERO WITH THE FINISH BUT TIPPED AROUND THE POST IN STYLE BY VALDES!Great play Atletico. Daniel Alves is back on the pitch, by the way, seems he was faking that injury.
- 36' Atletico have had all the ball since they pulled one back, as Simao has a crack from distance that is straight down Valdes's throat.
- 32' Atletico attack, Forlan gets it 30 yards out AND FORLAN SENDS A BRILLIANT STRIKE OVER VALDES AND IN! WHAT A GOAL! It flew, it dipped, it nestled in the bottom right. Oooooh I could watch that all day. Valdes was a mere spectator.
- 30' Messi on the left, he beats one man, then another, he's in the area and races free of Pablo and slips it to Franco's left into the bottom right for 2-0! Brilliant goal, special stuff from a special little man.
- 28' Messi swings the corner in and Franco flaps at it but the whistle goes, foul by Toure.
- 27' A dodgy backpass forces Franco to head the ball away with Henry closing in on him, it's knocked behind by Antonio Lopez for a corner.
- 24' Bad news for Barca as Alves is stretchered off.
21' Daniel Alves is rolling about in agony after being caught by a Simao tackle, which was only a fraction late but his ankle got stuck in the turf and he seems to have twisted it...- 18' The ball is played up to Eto'o who touches it down to Henry AND HENRY SENDS A BEAUTIFUL CURLER INTO THE TOP RIGHT! WHAT A GOAL! BARCA LEAD AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY! He unleashed a curling, unstoppable effort from left to right and across the helpless Leo Franco.
- 15' Free-kick to the hosts on the left of the box...
- 10' A very good start to this game, although it's gone a bit quiet now... Barca really should be two goals down.
- 7' Free-kick to Atleti on the right, Simao to take... a brilliant, curling ball and AGUERO AT THE NEAR POST but it takes a touch off Toure en route and over! Again the linesman gets it all wrong and awards a goal-kick.
- 4' Corner to Atletico... headed clear and Maxi with a shot AND VALDES MIS-HANDLES IT AND HEITINGA IS THERE TO POKE IT IN FOR 1-0! But no, the flag is up! Offside! Terrible decision! Awful, in fact, as Pablo was adjudged to have been offside when he was level, he was moving back anyway and Heitinga and Aguero - who followed up - were both yards on. Lucky escape for Barca, and Valdes, who made a howler there!
- 3' Barca almost fashion an opening from the corner but cleared by Atleti!
- 2' Barca go straight down the other and and almost take the lead themselves but the ball is deflected over his own bar by Pablo! That could have gone anywhere! Cracking start to this match.
- 1' Atletico on an early attack, played through to Aguero on the right of the box and he fires on goal and it's in!! But no! That looked in but it was the side netting! Agonisingly close - I think Valdes got a slight touch but a goal kick is awarded.
1' Match underway at the Vicente Calderon!
