The Champions League quarterfinal ended one of Barcelona‘s most impressive records.
Details: Barcelona faced a 0-2 defeat against Atletico Madrid, marking their first home loss to the team since February 5, 2006. In that match, which took place in La Liga, Barcelona lost 1-3. Since then, the Blaugrana had been unbeaten at Camp Nou against Atletico for nearly two decades.
This latest defeat ended an incredible 25-match streak without a home loss to Atletico Madrid.
For years, Camp Nou had been a stronghold for Barcelona against Diego Simeone’s side. However, Atletico’s tactical adaptability and sharp finishing allowed them to finally break this long-standing trend.
Reminder: In the match, Atletico defender Marc Pubill handled the ball after a pass from the goalkeeper, but the referee chose not to call the foul.
