The Champions League quarter-final clash between La Liga giants Barcelona and Atletico Madrid at the Camp Nou came alive just before half-time.
After dominating the first 40 minutes, Barcelona faced a setback when Pau Cubarsí was sent off for a last-man foul on Giuliano Simeone.
Initially awarded a yellow card, the decision was later upgraded to red following a VAR review.
Things went from bad to worse for Hansi Flick’s team as Atletico scored from the ensuing free-kick, with Julián Alvarez curling a spectacular shot into the top corner, leaving Joan Garcia with no chance.
With this goal, Alvarez has broken Diego Costa’s record for the most goals scored in a single Champions League campaign for Atleti.
Can Diego Simeone’s team secure a crucial advantage heading into the second leg and achieve their first win at the Nou Camp in 20 years, or will Barcelona find a path back into the tie?
