Ter Stegen against Griezmann! The German national team keeper defused a French shot from around 13 meters in the center. Griezmann’s conclusion wasn’t easy because he had to try it from the start.

21:43
The guests haven’t made much progress in the game for a few minutes. Coach Xavi shouldn’t like that at all.
37
21:40
Llorente slams the ball from a fairly acute angle from the right not far to the right. Before that, he was staged well. It seems that the Simeone Elf has slowly woken up.
36
21:39
There’s not much more to play in the first round. Maybe this chance for Giménez was the wake-up call for them to finally achieve something in attack.
33
21:36
…and then almost equalization! After the corner is actually clarified, another cross from the right wing gets into the center. There Giménez clearly prevails in the aerial duel against Araújo, but nods the marble from ten meters to the right by a hair’s breadth.
33
21:35
… Penalties are rightly not given after a short examination. The corner kicked wide, Gavi nods at the far post to the next as Ter Stegen dived under the ball…
32
21:34
And then the first conclusion: Llorente is sent to the right into the sixteen meter area, where he deducts nine meters from an acute angle. Araújo deflects to the side netting with his arm…

21:33
A little over half an hour has passed. The lead of the Blaugrana is perfectly fine due to the game shares. The Rojiblancos hardly appear at all offensively.
28
21:30
Incidentally, when Dembélé scored, the hosts had a need to speak: They wanted to have recognized a foul play by the youngster shortly before Gavi’s pass. Although Reinildo actually falls to the ground, Gavis’ boarding was not illegal. So everything is correct.
25
21:27
the great chance of 0:2! Giménez plays a terrible back pass from his own half towards Oblak. Pedri anticipates correctly, but takes too long when free in front of Atlético’s goalkeeper. His lob is blocked for a corner that earns nothing.

21:24
Tooor for FC Barcelona, 0:1 by Ousmane Dembélé
And then Barcelona goes in front! Pedri has a little too much time in the left half-space and dribbles through three colchoneros. With a bit of luck, Gavi will direct his outside instep pass to the penalty spot to the right into the box. Dembélé takes off directly and hits the bottom left corner from twelve meters.
19
21:21
…as a result of Griezmann’s corner there is a little muddle after Reinildo’s header at the near post. In the association, the FCB defense settled the matter.
18
21:20
João Félix picks up Llorente on the right flank. The 27-year-old looks for Griezmann in the center, but only finds Koundé, who clears the corner…
16
21:18
We still have to wait for the crystal clear possibility for a team. A few times, however, Barca have approached dangerously.
13.
21:17
It’s been a one-goal game here from the start. The red and white hardly ever get out of their own half.
10
21:13
Baldé intercepted a catastrophic mispass by Barrios from left to right defence. Fati finds his direct forwarding, who is blocked at the last moment.
9.
21:11
Why not? Christensen just pulls powerfully from 22 meters from half left. However, Oblak is there and parries.
7.
21:09
Barrios tries a little more than 20 meters from a relatively central position with a long-range shot. However, Ter Stegen does not have any real trouble with it.
4.
21:06
The start of this game is quite cheerful. FCB in particular makes a good impression here.
20:34
The Blaugrana, on the other hand, have struggled a little in the Copa del Rey. Also on Wednesday they struggled to a very narrow victory in extra time (4-3) at third division CF Intercity Joan d’Alacant – and that despite stars like Busquets, Depay and Dembélé being on the field from the start. They also had their little problems last weekend. In the first game after the World Cup break, they did not get more than a draw against Espanyol Barcelona (1-1) despite the lead in the duel between the city rivals. And yet: Because arch-enemy Real lost feathers at FC Villareal yesterday (1: 2), Barca can today come to 41 points in the classification – and distance the Galactics on their three.
20:21
Let’s first look at the Colchoneros: They are currently only in fifth place and are already eleven points behind leaders Barcelona. Since the end of the World Cup, however, things have been going well for them. Not only did they survive the second round of the Copa del Rey (3-1 at CD Arenteiro O Caballino), they also won last Wednesday’s away game at second division club Real Oviedo in the round of 16 (2-0) and are now in the quarter-finals of the cup competition . In between there was a mandatory win in front of a home crowd against bottom FC Elche in the current league (2:0). Now, however, a much greater challenge awaits.
19:59
Hello and welcome to the 16th match day of the Primera División! With a win today, FC Barcelona can distance their pursuers and arch-rivals Real Madrid by three points. For this, a success at Atlético Madrid is needed. Kick-off is at 9:00 p.m.
