Final verdict
What a crazy game it was! If you are neutral that was a near perfect game for you.
Atletico Madrid score two early goals and Barcelona replied with three before the halftime. With 15 minutes to go in the game Lewandowski came and made it for two for Barcelona.
But to let goals from Atletico Madrid helped them level things up for the second leg.
Barcelona would be really disappointed to not going with the advantage there.
So, that was it from my end. Good night if you are reading from outside India. Good morning, if you are from India.
As we have seen throughout the season, despite conceding goals, Barcelona have kept the line high and this allows Atletico to make a run whenever they have the chance.

Captain Harry Kane became the first player to score two goals on his 100th appearance for England. The striker scored his 67th and 68th international goals in the second half of the Nations League at Wembley over Finland, thundering an excellent strike in off the underside of the bar, then curling in a neat finish.
He also became just the third player to score on his 100th England appearance, after Wayne Rooney (versus Slovenia in 2014) and Bobby Charlton (against Northern Ireland in 1970).
Before kick-off, Kane was presented with a golden cap to mark the achievement, and also wore golden boots during the match.

6. Robert Lewandowski | 85 goals
Robert Lewandowski is currently the most prolific goalscorer in Europe's top five leagues. The Bayern Munich striker has played some of the best football of his career in recent seasons.

Al Jazira and UAE legend Ali Mabkhout is a clinical finisher and as well as being one of his club's best scorers. However, he is also the United Arab Emirates' top international scorer of all time. He has a total of 85 international goals to his name.
During the 2019 AFC Asian Cup quarter-finals, Mabkhout netted the only goal in a 1–0 victory over defending champions Australia, which helped his country qualify for the semi-finals. Mabkhout scored a hat-trick against Indonesia in a 5–0 win in 2019 to become UAE's all-time leading goalscorer.
