| | Diego Costa has been shown a red card! Atletico Madrid are down to 10 men against Barcelona #BarcaAtleti pic.twitter.com/dPPhCylOwW— Eleven Sports (@ElevenSports_UK) April 6, 2019Atletico were still trying to reorganise when a poor back pass from Godin almost played in Suarez but he could not capitalise from a tight angle.Atletico dropped back into their shell as what had been an open game became much tighter. Barca were limited to half-chances for Messi and Coutinho before the break, but neither had the beating of Oblak.The second half was slow to get going but in the 55th minute, Messi spun away from Koke and got his shot away, but again Oblak gathered comfortably.Just after the hour, Barca’s talisman went on a long run before laying the ball off to Suarez, but his shot did not have the power to beat the goalkeeper.4
