The delay accumulated during the first leg will have cost FC Barcelona dearly. A week after being beaten at the Camp Nou by Atlético de Madrid (0-2), Lamine Yamal, scorer, and his teammates failed to reverse the situation at the Metropolitano, Tuesday April 14, by winning by just one goal (2-1) in the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League. The Barcelonans thought they had done the hard part by leading 2-0 after 24 minutes of play but Ademola Lookman (31st) scored the goal they needed for the Madrilenians who then showed resilience, as often, to validate their qualification.
A year after the heartbreak of elimination at the gates of the final, in overtime against Inter, the ambition of the Blaugranas was to do better and why not to win the competition. They finally fell against the Colchoneros who were used to playing spoilsport, but who had not reached the semi-finals of the C1 since the 2016-2017 edition while Antoine Griezmann, still a starter and particularly inspired, is experiencing his last European campaign with Atlético before flying to the United States in a few weeks.
