Barcelona: Athletico Madrid scored two goals and then fought down two down in the first leg thriller in the Copa Dale Ray semi-finals with Barcelona in the Wild 4-4 draw.
After Diego Simone’s team scored twice in the first six minutes by Julian Alvarez and Antonine Greesman, Barca racked through gears in high octane performance. The magnificent pedestrian Gonzalez pulled a back with Pow Cubers, Anigo Martinage and Robert Lyundosky.
On April 2, Alexander Sorlot contested Athletico in the 93rd minute to leave the tie before the second leg at the Metropolitano Stadium.
“Today we started badly, but I would focus on how the team reacted. “When we come out we have to calm … it will be a difficult (other leg) but we will go there to try and win.” Simone encouraged his team, his replacement played a key role, as he did several times in this season.
“We had a great competitive spirit.” The changes made the team refreshed, it was not an easy game, and I love the spirit that the boy showed … “As the minute passed, the team started to feel more comfortable.”
Laughing Flick left Baraka’s top goal scorer Lyindosky out of the opening lineup, Ferran Torus replaced in a false role. Simon raised a strong side despite his team’s most difficult reality list, with which the first match of the three -match match against Barka was the last 16 tie of the Champions League against Real Madrid on the horizon.
Athletico took the lead within the first minute, with Alvarez hit the back post after colliding with Grazman’s cross. Athletico doubled his lead in the sixth minute when Julis Conde removed the ball and Alvarez prepared a wonderful pass to release Grizzman.
The French forward was pressured by Alejandro Balde, but cleverly worked for a shot, which Wozich’s sentence got a hand but he could not stay out. After the opening Salvo of Athletico, Barcelona dominated the rest of the first half.
Ferran Taurus should have equalized, but his shot was weak and Athletico’s goalkeeper Joan Moussau was easily saved. La Liga leaders hit two goals in two minutes to pull the back surface, Konda already established a pedestal, before the Cubarsi shook the house with a corner.
Taurus gave birth to another golden opportunity in Baraka, which scored Missusu, but under the pressure of Clemented Langulett, misused on Athletico’s Catalan’s debt. At the beginning of the second half, the sentence saved Griezman well, Baraka is still under widespread control.
Sorlot’s goal of the side was not allowed because the visitors searched for equality, but instead it was Barka that proceeded. Kishore Winger Lamin Yamal made it with a wonderful drain, provoked the past Raineldo Mandova and squared to substitute Lyundusky to tap home.
Barcelona’s performance showed his superiority, but Laurent’s 84th strike from the edge of the box opened the door for the late net for Sorlot. The Norwegian forward won the last grip of Athletico at Barka’s Olympic Stadium in La Liga in December and was once again in the right place to finish Samuel Leno’s cutback. Alavirz of Athletico summarized the game, “It was crazy, there were many goals.”
Barcelona coach Flick was happy with his team’s display but not the final score. Flick told reporters, “We are really disappointed with this conclusion, but the game we played today was really good, I focus more on it.” “We have to talk about the goals, it was probably very easy (for Athletico), but we played against a terrific team … we dominated 75 to 80 minutes.”
