Tonight, Atletico Madrid could not be defeated by Barcelona as the two teams have split a single point each with 2-2 at Camp Nou. For the hosts, this has been a major setback as their chances deteriorated to defend their title after what has followed after this massive event.

The champion for this year might have been decided by Atletico Madrid in La Liga although they are continuing with their negative streak at the Camp Nou venue that has been seeing them sans a win at this particular venue since the year 2006. Barcelona Tumbles at Home, Atletico Madrid Snaps One Point, 2-2.

The players who belong to the Spanish capital did not seem to be very much disappointed with the finals whistle that followed as they highly managed to spoil the title plans of Barcelona.

According to a post in social media made by Barcelona Football Club on 30th June this year, the summary of the match with the results has been given. The encounter that happened between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid ended in a 2-2 draw. Since the starts two leads are blown by Barcelona and points are dropped for the third time since the match restarted. For the time being, they are waiting for Real Madrid.

Having all these points in the tally, the champions are just are now one point behind in the tally from Real Madrid who has got a game in their hand that could allow them to run away to the top with four points.

As far as tonight’s game is concerned although there were as many as four goals that were scored the contest in itself has not been spectacular at all. From all the goals that were scored three of the hits itself came from the penalty spot and the one other goal other than this has been an own goal.

The opening goal was scored 11 minutes into the match as the ball has been placed by Diego Costa in the net behind his own goalkeeper Oblak. Later in the game after 8 minutes, the fans witnessed the first penalty in the game and this one was in favor of Atletico. The responsibility was taken by Costa but his shot was saved by Ter Stegen and even now it has been seen by the referee that the German goalkeeper has been coming out of the line. It has been leveled by Saul from the penalty that was repeated.

At the halftime, this has been the result, and there were not very many actions that were left until the closing of this particular sequence.

Everything about the game was posted on twitter and the statistics of the game go like that 90 minutes have been played. The number of touches is 54. 2 goals have been scored. 1 key pass has been made. The accurate passes are 27/33. The ground duels that have been won are 9/16. The aerial duels that have been won are 2/3. The most number of on the pitch tackles is 9. The ratings given by SofaScore are 8.3.

Twice a goal has been scored by Saul Niguez against Barcelona and as of defense, he has been a rock.

Two more penalties happened in the second half. The first one was executed by Messi in the 50th minute of the game and later on, one more was added by Saul in the 62nd minute.

The players of Blaugrana’s have been pretty much nervous and anything notable was not made by them until the fag end of the game came before the final whistle has been blown. The pretty much had the initiative, but they did not have a straightforward solution that would invariably endanger Oblak and the backline of Atletico.

This has happened for the third time that is over the four games already played by Barcelona previously where a draw has been recorded by Barcelona and that has been a major reason for them falling from the top position of the world-famous Spanish league. As far as Atleti is concerned, the side of Simeone has been third in the tally having two points more than that of Sevilla, but as far as being safe is concerned, they are still not there when things are related to the points tally in Champions League. Villarreal has 51 points and there are 52 points with Getafe as both the teams are yet to play their respective matches.
