midfielder Paul Barrioswho was trained in the Real Madrid youth academy until Infantil A, at the age of 14, when the club decided not to continue counting on him, scored a beautiful double to lead Atlético de Madrid’s victory over the merengue team (2-3) which allowed him to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Youth League, the Youth Champions League.

The visiting team was superior from the beginning and already in the 25th minute, Barrios showed his quality leaving behind two defendersthe latter stepping on the ball to take it from behind and shoot crosswise, with his left foot, and beat goalkeeper Diego Piñeiro.

A 0-1 against which Real Madrid could not respond, beyond the times that Peter Federico faced the ball down the right wing, and that Atlético extended five minutes after returning from the break. A backlash was generated from a corner in favor of the locals in which the team led by Hernán Pérez Cuesta did not fall back well; and Marvel was stuck when Sergio Díez he faced him to later put the 0-2 on the scoreboard.

Real Madrid reacted in an isolated playin a center by Rafel Obrador from the left that David Gonzalez -who had entered five minutes before- finished off with a toe in the 57th minute to give some hope that Barrios was in charge of dispelling just nine minutes later after driving and shooting with his right foot from far away directly to the top corner of the goal defended by Piñeiro.

It gave the locals time to get back into the game with a goal in the m.88 of Marvel with the ass in a lateral center, but they did not have more chances in the last moments.

Thus, the goals of enormous quality from Pablo Barrios, who he already scored the 0-1 victory in the last league match between these two teams and that this Wednesday they made it Atlético de Madrid, de facto trained by Fernando Torres, who was from the initial whistle giving orders from the technical area even though it was Ricardo Ortega García who – since the previous one did not have the necessary license – appeared as first coach of the rojiblancos.
