‘I dislike playing at right back’ - Araujo sends message to Xavi
FC Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo has sent a message to head coach Xavi Hernandez about his preferred position in the team.
Barcelona dominated for swathes of the regulation period but were mostly wasteful. However, Joao Felix's strike in the 28th minute was enough to secure maximum points.
How it happened
Barcelona carried on their form from the second-half performance against Porto into this match, as they had Atleti on the backfoot early on.
The hosts had the chance to score multiple goals on the opening exchanges, with Raphinha and Lewandowski both getting the ball in dangerous positions, but neither had the quality or luck to beat Jan Oblak.
Barcelona continued to carve out spaces in the Atleti backline but could not land a lethal blow until the 28th minute when Raphinha dribbled through the central areas of the pitch to find Felix.
Nahuel Molina attempted to intercept the pass, but the Portuguese was quicker. He collected the ball into this path before jinking the ball over Oblak.
Simeone’s side were much improved in the second-half, but the Blaugrana still had more of the ball and created better chances, but were without their shooting boots.
Atleti had a flurry of attacks in the final 10-15 minutes of the game, but Inaki Pena was on hand to ensure Felix's goal determined the tie.
