A quick corner nearly opened a chance for them. But, Le Normand was there to do the job for Atletico Madrid. 

Yellow card for Balde who took it for the team while trying to stop Simione on the byline. 

Barcelona have been trying hard to break in but they are looking so much comfortable in that position where they are defending with everyone.

In: Gallagher, Sorloth

Out: Lino, Julian Alvarez

Popped up ball from Yamal for Lewandowski to head the ball inside the goal. 

However, the ball was too long for him to control. 

Atletico are defending with all of their players and Barcelona are finding it hard to go close to Oblak.

Simeone's cutback found Julian Alvarez in the middle and the Argentine striker side-footed the ball past Szczęsny for the first goal of the night. 

ATM 1-0 FCB

This is the best chance of the match so far. 

Pedri with a solid pass for Lewandowski. 

But, Lewandowski made it tough for himself after a poor first touch. 

He sends it over the crossbar. 

Atletico Madrid have been able to mark Lewandowski down. 

Raphinha's threaded pass from the Polish striker could have created a chance for Barcelona. 

But the defensive line has marked him down so well that he did not have enough space to work with that ball. 

Yamal is brought down by Lino, again. No card though for the Atletico Madrid player. 

Yamal has been targeted by Atletico Madrid so far in the match.

Olmo wins a foul for Barcelona and they now have a free-kick from the edge of the box. 

Chance for the Catalan club.

But, Kounde and Cubarsi have been up to the task as well,

Yellow card for Kounde as he came running from behind to tackle Mandava. 

Despite being in great form, Raphinha has not scored against Atletico Madrid. 

This time his cross from left goes straight to Oblak.

Casado tried to tackle him and gave away the corner. 

Kounde's with a lobbed ball from the edge of the box and Lewandowski jumped high enough to beat the defenders.

However, he could not find the power and direction to beat Oblak there. 

Easy grab for Oblak. 

Barcelona have been able to keep possession of the ball and make a quick transition from left to right as well. 

Balde's cut back this time allowed Kounde to take a chance with a right-footed shot. 

But, Llorente made a good block 

Reinildo Mandava has been able to make a few runs on the left. But, Kounde has been exceptional as well down there. 

This time Mandava's run allowed De Paul to take a chance with a shot from outside of the box. 

But, just like his teammates, he was far away from the target. 

Yamal this time was able to make a quick cutback and then went for a shot from the right. 

He missed the far post by a whisker with a curling shot. 

Nearly a perfect start for Barcelona.
