Barcelona refuse to lower their arms at the Calderon

If the pressure is already felt in the air before the start of the day by the 'mere' fact that separate them ten points, Real Madrid's victory over Rayo Vallecano added a pinch more to that already had Barcelona, ​​which was measured to nothing more and nothing less than an athlete unaware of defeat since the arrival of Diego Simeone and in the Vicente Calderon stadium like that, seeing the Blaugrana last departures, not invited too optimistic.

But the truth is that the match lived up to the occasion. This 'classic' of our league read that has an average of three goals per game. Said and done. Atletico 1-2 in the feud that, yes, he left a little disappointed, as men of 'Cholo' kept in suspense until the end the fans with his insistence against Victor Valdes, ebullient in their speeches, and Messi, simply sublime in the launch of the fault which led to the three points of Pep Guardiola.

In the first act the ball was given by Barcelona, ​​but without much clarity. The opponent is crouched behind a strategy that took effect until superseded Simeone half hour Messi found the gap between the web, Cesc and he served on a silver platter, Dani Alves gave to release the mail. Before the '10 ', had seen his was somewhat offset by a hand that was punished with yellow and, incidentally, will allow you to rest the next day.

After passing through the house, everything changed. Atletico changed the chip and just started the second half Falcao took advantage of a bad hair ball in defense to shoot Busquets Valdes. He encouraged the local computer, which was Pep Guardiola, who ushered Isaac and Pedro Basin in search of the second. A Falcao offside when it was not planted just before Valdes irritated the Manzanares, who shortly after saw the '9 'she ran into the goalkeeper in a one on one.

The final stretch was electric. A comic action preceded the Messi-kick with just ten minutes. N o one asked barrier, but stubbornly Courtois place. Meanwhile, the Argentine rascal masterfully executed the free-to remove the cobwebs of athletic goal. A childish mistake that cost him dearly Atletico, who stalked in search of the equalizer until the last breath, crossing over with a giant named Victor and claiming a penalty of Busquets.

And is that with just two minutes a free-kick by Jamie touched by hand FC Barcelona midfielder before Juanfran finish off the body of the keeper. No penalty was called because the play is almost over in goal, but the jump was observed as the Barcelona player hits the ball. The image Puyol lying on the table reflects the suffering of Calderon Barcelona before a Atleti encorajado that despite the defeat confirmed their improvement. The League for the club continues to 10 points.
