In the end, Barcelona got what they were looking for. With nearly 11 games to go for them, they climb back to the top of the table with 60 points. 

They are now equal with Real Madrid but they have a far better goal difference to be at the top. 

It was a perfect start for Atletico Madrid with a goal from Julian Alvarez in the first half and from Sorloth in the second half. They crowded the box and defended with the whole team but a team like Barcelona are always tough to the restricted like that. 

Inigo Martinez and Pedri alongside Kounde were superb for Barcelona as they kept the team calm even after going down. 

Lewandowski scored the first one for them with a cool head and Ferran Torres then came from the bench to score the equaliser. 

Lamine Yamal then produced a clutch finish in the added time while Torres scored his second to put an end to the coffin. 

Thank you to everyone who stayed up late for the match. I hope you enjoyed the game and the coverage. This is Koushik Biswas, saying you good night. See you in the next game.

He gets a brace and that will be it for Barcelona. 

Torres fins the back of the net with a right-footed shot from the edge of the box. 

Chance for Atleitco but Barcelona defenders cleared it for a corner. 

As we were saying, there will be late drama.

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

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.

Good pass from Olmo to find Lewandowski at the tip of the box. 

But, after a poor first touch, Lewandowski lost the ball to Le Normand. 

Raphinha did not go at the goal directly but popped the ball up for Pedri to head the ball into the goal. 

But, the Spaniard could not control the areal ball and fell down on the ground. 

Even before the free-kick is taken, Simeone goes down after a slight touch from Kounde. 

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

Chance for the Catalan club. 

Atletico have been able to find space on the left as Lino and Julian Alvarez made a few entries in the final third. 

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. 

Griezmann caught Casado again as the youngster went for a shot. 

Top class save from Szczęsny as Alvarez was one-on-one against him inside the box. 

However, the Argentine was offside while accepting the pass. 

Cubarsi blocks a shot from Lino. 

This is the second time Casado was struck on his leg. 

This time he blocked a cross from Lino.

Another corner for Atletico. Julian Alvaraz takes it. 

Brave decision from Szczęsny to come out early to clear out a threading pass from Julian Alvarez. 

It could have been a chance for Atletico. But, Szczęsny was sharp to stop that. 

For the first time, Julian Alvarez was able to drift away from the Barcelona defenders on the left. 

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.

But, Pedro Porro came to rescue again as Portugal earned another corner.

Mendes' cross was deflected into the box for him to just nudge Cucurella and hit the back of the goal.

Ronaldo, not for the first time, is dispossessed again. Portugal missed a few chances after Ronaldo lost the ball. 

But, we all know, in just one moment, he can turn things around.

Oyarzabal scores for Spain. 

Spain broke through the Portugal's defence from their own half. 

Pedri's run, and the pass was sublime, just like the finish from Oyarzabal, who defeated Costa to hit the back of the net.

Cherki's cross and Kolo Muani's header went straight inside the goal.

ESP 5-4 FRA

Gusto's cross fell rightly for Barcola to go for the header. But, he could not be on target.

Can we have more goals?

In: Gavi

Out: Merino

Barcola's speed on the left gave France a great chance. 

His cutback found Kolo Muani at the edge of the box. But his shot went over the goal. 

Samu got the chance to beat him with a cross-footed shot. But Maignan's defection took the ball away. 

Okay, are we going to watch a classic comeback? 

Vivian could not control the cross from Gusto, and his toe touch went straight into the goal.

5 minutes to go, more goal?

Spain 5-3 France

Hernandez grabbed Lamine and stopped him from going for the counterattack. 

Yellow card for him. 

whhhhhhaaatttt! 

What a goal and on his debut! 

Mbappe found Cherki at the edge of the box, and after the first touch, he went for a left-footed bullet volley to beat Simon. 

ESP 5-2 FRA

France: In - Kolo Muani, Out - Dembele 

Spain: In - Vivian, Samu, Out - Le Normand, Oyarzabal

Spain are looking complacent here. 

Mbappe, while falling on the ground, was very close to beating Simon. 

But Simon kept his eyes on the ball to make the save.

Dembele hits the post as the ball kept going close the byline and the PSG star could not find the angle to find the back of the net. 

In: Lucas Hernandez

Out: Lenglet

Five star for Spain.

A goal that had written Ballon d'Or all over it, the commentators said. 

With the front of the foot, he was able to beat Maignan on the right side. 

Spain 5-1 France. 

Spain: In - Olmo, Ruiz, Out - Nico, Pedri

France: In - Gusto, Cherki, Barcola, Out - Kalulu, Olise, Doue

Dembele, with a threading pass, found Doue on the left. 

After watching his space, Doue tried to curl one back in. But the effort did not come in enough to hit the back of the net. 

Inevitable. Mbappe scores from the spot. 

He is just one goal away from touching Henry's record.

Spain 4-1 France. 

Pedro Porro semmed to have dragged Mbapped inside the box  and it is a penalty for France.

Spain are cooking here. 

Pedri gets into the act this time. 

Pedri won the ball and controlled it before finding Nico on the left. 

Nico found Pedri making a run inside the box. 

With a fine touch and control, he found the back of the net. 

ESP 4-0 FRA.

Cool, calm and stylish. 

He took his time and was not bothered by all the distractions from Maignan. 

He hits the low, left corner and Spain lead by 3-0. 

ESP 3-0 FRA. 

Penalty given. The VAR stands with the referee's decision. 

Rabiot fouls Lamine Yamal inside the box. He gets the yellow card and it is a penalty for Spain. 

Good start for France.

Theo Hernandez's cross from the left of the box was nearly met by Demeble. Another chance gone begging for them. 

Top class along the ground, cross from the right. Kalulu's cross from the right could not meet Dembele at the centre of the box. 

Yamal found Oyarzabal at the edge of the box. Konate blocked latter's shot. 

No changes from either. 

Two great goals and the defending champions are happily going to the break with a 2-0 lead.

2 minutes added to the first half. 

Mbappe with a left footed shot. Since it was at the center of the goal, it was an easy save for Simon. 

Huijsen scores but looks to be offside. 

France are trying to play shorter passes to enter the box. A lovely one-two between Mbappe and Olise found Dembele making a run inside the box.

Though Simon came running to make the save, the PSG star was already offside. 

Nico Williams delivers.

Simon does well to go low and down to his right to save Dembele's on target shot from the right. 

France are struggling here with the defence. 

Pedri's delivery had created a chance for Nico to go for the goal. But, Lenglet was there to make the block. 

Yellow card for Lamine for a foul on Doue.

Doue and Mbappe's timid efforts at the goal were saved by Simon as France looked to make a comeback in the match. Let me remind you, no second leg in the semis. The winner will face Portugal in the final on June 8th.

Merino's goes around the corner and Spain lead by 2-0. 

Oyarzabal is again the provider but this time with a very different type of assist, completing a one-two with Merino as part of a slick spell of Spain passing with a delightful chipped ball inside the box on the right.

Merino did the rest by storming inside the box and beating Maignan in the near post. 

Nico Williams does the job for Spain. 

On the left again, but unlike the last two times, he was able to smash the back of the net. 

Yamal found Oyarzabal, and the experienced striker played a cute pass at the edge of the box for Nico to go for the goal. 

Despite space being there and having Mbappe waiting over the shoulder, Rabiot went for the shot. 

It went over the goal. 

It is Nico Williams who made another run on the left for Spain. But his final shot was saved by Maignan. A bit awkward, but it was a good save. 

Theo passed the ball to Doue on the left. Doue, full of confidence, after a record-breaking Champions League final, he made a cutback and went for a shot with his right foot. 

In the end, it was an easy save for Simon

Theo Hernandez, though he was not in full control while making the effort with his left foot, hit the crossbar. Simon would have been a spectator if that had gone in.  

Nico Williams, on the left-hand side, made a good run. But his final effort went straight to Maignan. 

Demeble ran away with the ball and found Mbappe. But, unselfish Mbappe tried to find Rabiot and lost the plot.

Theo Hernandez took his chance to surprise Simon with a long-range shot. The shot went over the goal. 

As usual, Lamine Yamal looked to break through the right and then with a backheel found Pedro Porro, whose effort went straight to Maignan. 

France start things off!
