That is all from our live coverage of the game from Vicente Calderon. This is Shaurya Vineet signing off. In case of any comments or feedback get in touch with me on Twitter @ShauryaVineet.
That is all folks, until next time! Adios and take care.

This tie is far from over but it is advantage Barcelona at the moment.

Barcelona have the two away goals ahead of the second leg. The momentum is with Luis Enrique's side going into the match at Camp Nou but Atletico Madrid are no pushovers and will be hoping to cause an upset in the second leg.

It was all Barcelona in the first half as Luis Suarez scored a sensational solo goal to open the scoring for the away side before Lionel Messi's thunder bastard doubled his side's lead.
Atletico were the more dominant side in the second half and created many chances, with the first one being buried by Antoine Griezmann. However, Diego Simeone's side didn't show the ruthlessness in front of the goal as they squirmed chance after chance.

Atletico Madrid fail to make their chances count in the second half of the game. Will it come back to haunt them in the second leg at Camp Nou?

90+3' Peep Peep Peep!
FULL-TIME: Atletico Madrid 1-2 Barcelona

90+1' Yellow Card: Juanfran is booked for a foul on Neymar

90+1' Yellow Card: Javier Mascherano is the next player to go into the referee's books.

90' Yellow Card: Lionel Messi is booked for a foul.

89' And now it is Griezmann's turn to test Cillessen from range and he had the Barcelona goalkeeper interested with a stunning shot but it is just wide of the post!

88' SAVE!! Luis unleashes a fierce left-footed shot which is parried away by Cillessen but no Atleti player is there to bundle it home and the goalkeeper charges out to keep hold of the ball.

Less than 3 minutes plus extra time left in the game, can Atleti find the equaliser?

Griezmann has stepped up to the occasion in the second half. He is tracking back, winning the ball back and has created plenty of chances for his side.

85' Barcelona survive. Cillessen plays a loose ball to Mascherano who was too casual and gives away the ball on the edge of the box. The ball falls into the path of Torres, who tries to bend it into the near post but his shot is just wide.

84' Yellow Card: Gabriel Fernandez is the next Atleti player to go into the referee's book.

83' Pique goes down under slight contact from Torres and that ends a dangerous Atleti attack!

81' Gameiro shoots wide. Griezmann had the ball in Barca's box and he floats a cross towards the back post where Gameiro was present and he attempts an acrobatic overhead kick but cannot get the direction on it.

80' It was Neymar who took the shot but fails to get any sort of curve or dip on the ball and it sails over the bar. Messi should have taken that!

79' Neymar goes down outside Atleti's box and Barcelona win another free-kick. This is Messi's territory. Can he make them pay?

77' MISSED CHANCE!! Barcelona should have scored there but Neymar has blazed his effort over after an excellent run by Messi.

76' WHAT A SAVE BY MOYA!!!! Messi lines up to take the free-kick and gets a sweet connection as the ball loops over the wall and comes down. It was destined for the top corner until Moya made a full-stretch dive to keep the ball out.

75' Yellow Card: Griezmann has been booked for a lunging challenge on Rafinha and Barcelona have a free-kick in a dangerous position.

After a sluggish start, this game has lived up to every bit the hype that it was subjected to before the game.

Barcelona are missing Sergio Busquets here. They would have done with Iniesta too but albeit are without the dynamic Spanish duo due to different injuries.

72' Substitution: Rafinha returns for the Blaugrana as Andre Gomes makes way
