Zapping World Eleven TOP 10: The most beautiful Ligue 1 2021/2022 jerseys
After their defeat in Mallorca (1-0) and their elimination in the Champions League against Manchester City, Atlético Madrid was keen to revive against Espanyol Barcelona.
After a fairly calm first half at the Wanda Metropolitano, Yannick Carrasco (52nd) opened the scoring for the Colchonerosbefore a series of adverse events.
Geoffrey Kondogbia first received a very severe second yellow card (71st), for an unintentional handball, before Raul De Tomas equalized from a free kick for the Barcelonans (74th), taking advantage of an unusual handball error by Jan Oblak. So a draw loomed, Diego Simeone’s men got a penalty after extra time, for a hand from De Tomas on a header from Antoine Griezmann.
Carrasco (90 + 10th) did not tremble to offer this short success to Atlético Madrid, allowing them to consolidate fourth place in La Liga (60 points), while Espanyol Barcelona is 11th (39 points).
