Centimetres decide it. Atlético Madrid score a razor-thin goal against Barcelona on the edge of offside
Atlético Madrid travelled to face Barcelona in Matchday 19 of La Liga, and early in the match they managed to score — though the goal was initially ruled out.
Details: In the 19th minute, Álex Baena broke through one-on-one with the goalkeeper and finished brilliantly. The goal was cancelled for offside, but the officials paused for a VAR review. After several minutes, the referee pointed to the centre spot. Baena had indeed beaten the line and the goal stood.
By the way, just minutes after kickoff, midfielder Johnny Cardoso picked up an injury. He was unable to continue and left the field, with Koke coming on in his place.
Reminder: Our team has prepared a new quiz ahead of the clash between Atlético and Barcelona. The rules are simple: name all the players who have worn the shirts of both Los Colchoneros and the Blaugrana. Can you set the top score?
