Early double strike brings Barça nothing Atlético knock Barcelona out of the Champions League

FC Barcelona come close to turning things around against Atlético Madrid, but fail to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League despite winning 2-1.

FC Barcelona had announced a "remontada" after losing the home game against Atlético Madrid 2:0. And indeed, the Catalans delivered. They only needed 24 minutes to make up for the handicap from the first leg. Lamine Yamal scored after an Atlético defensive error and Ferran Torres gave coach Hansi Flick's team a 2-0 lead.

The decisive setback came before the break. Barça were taken by surprise almost out of nowhere. Atlético's Nigerian striker Ademola Lookman benefited from superb passes from Antoine Griezmann and Marcos Llorente, who single-handedly outplayed the Spanish league leaders' defense to make it 2-1 in the 31st minute.

Barcelona's attacking efforts after the break did not lead to any more goals. In the 55th minute, Ferran Torres' supposed 3:1 was disallowed for offside. The visitors suffered another setback in the final quarter of an hour when defender Eric Garcia was shown the red card for an emergency brake. Pau Cubarsi, an FC Barcelona defender, had already been sent off in the first leg.
