Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona: La Liga Live Score, Highlights and Recap

Samuel MarsdenMay 31, 2018

Newly crowned La Liga champions Barcelona came from behind to win 2-1 against Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon.

After a first half which was pedestrian, Radamel Falcao put the home side into the lead after the break.

Barca were then dealt a further blow when, having made all their substitutions, Lionel Messi was forced to leave the pitch injured -- although it looked more precautionary than anything.

Despite that, Tito Vilanova's league winners equalized almost immediately. 

Good play from Cesc Fabregas saw Alexis Sanchez toe poke past Thibaut Courtois.

And then, from nowhere Barca went on to win it.

Cristian Tello's pull back found David Villa, and his scuffed shot was heading wide before Gabi helped it into his own goal.
