Luis Suarez gave Barcelona the 2-1 lead over Atletico Madrid with this goal in the first half.
Well, now, that sure escalated rather quickly now didn’t it?
Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are doing battle on the pitch Saturday in one of the more anticipated La Liga matches of the season, and for a short (SHORT) time, it appeared as if Atletico might be in good shape. They had a 1-0 lead following a goal from Koke, which was pretty good for their momentum.
Yeah, well, this is Barcelona and they really care nothing about your momentum. A short time after that Koke goal, none other than Lionel Messi struck with the equalizer, so that momentum was right out the window. Then, of course, it was Luis Suarez’s turn.
One of the most talented strikers in the game got ahead of the defense and was able to easily knock this one in to give Barca the 2-1 lead.
It really is that easy for these guys sometimes. It’s insane just how quickly they can crush your hopes and dreams, but that’s just what they do. They’re one of the more talented squads on the planet for a reason, and it will never not be fun watching them be the way they are.
Well, it’s not fun for the opposing side, of course.
