L'Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid a une fois de plus prouv\u00e9 qu'il \u00e9tait le fl\u00e9au du Bar\u00e7a en Ligue des Champions, en remportant une victoire arrach\u00e9e 1-0 au stade Metropolitano mercredi soir, prenant ainsi les commandes de ce quart de finale aller.<\/p>\n
Le moment d\u00e9cisif est survenu \u00e0 la 34e minute. Lors d'un contre-rapide, Antoine Griezmann a trouv\u00e9 de l'espace sur le c\u00f4t\u00e9 gauche. Sa centre rasant pr\u00e9cis a \u00e9t\u00e9 parfaitement repouss\u00e9 du pied, en glissade, par l'attaquant Memphis Depay, qui a dirig\u00e9 le ballon hors de port\u00e9e de Marc-Andre ter Stegen, provoquant l'extase du public local.<\/p>\n
Le Bar\u00e7a, alignant une \u00e9quipe jeune, a eu du mal \u00e0 imposer son rythme habituel face \u00e0 l'organisation disciplin\u00e9e et physiquement intense de Diego Simeone. La meilleure occasion catalane de la premi\u00e8re mi-temps est revenue \u00e0 Robert Lewandowski, mais sa puissante t\u00eate \u00e0 la 25e minute a \u00e9t\u00e9 superbement d\u00e9tourn\u00e9e sur la barre transversale par le gardien de l'Atl\u00e9tico, Jan Oblak.<\/p>\n
La seconde p\u00e9riode a suivi un sch\u00e9ma similaire, l'Atl\u00e9tico se contentant de d\u00e9fendre solidement son avantage. Le Bar\u00e7a a b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9 d'une plus grande possession mais a cr\u00e9\u00e9 peu d'occasions franches. Leur frustration a \u00e9t\u00e9 accentu\u00e9e \u00e0 la 77e minute lorsque le milieu de terrain Frenkie de Jong a d\u00fb quitter le terrain, apparemment victime d'une blessure aux ischio-jambiers, jetant un doute sur sa participation au match retour.<\/p>\n
Ce r\u00e9sultat prolonge l'incroyable s\u00e9rie d'invincibilit\u00e9 de l'Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid face au Bar\u00e7a en phases \u00e0 \u00e9limination directe de la Ligue des Champions \u00e0 six matches, une s\u00e9rie qui remonte \u00e0 leur c\u00e9l\u00e8bre victoire en quart de finale en 2014. Cette d\u00e9faite marque \u00e9galement la premi\u00e8re du Bar\u00e7a dans toutes les comp\u00e9titions depuis l'annonce par Xavi Hernandez de son d\u00e9part du club en fin de saison.<\/p>\n
Les deux g\u00e9ants espagnols se retrouveront \u00e0 l'Estadi Ol\u00edmpic Llu\u00eds Companys de Barcelone le mardi 16 avril 2024 pour le match retour. La r\u00e8gle des buts \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur n'\u00e9tant plus en vigueur, le Bar\u00e7a doit l'emporter par au moins deux buts d'\u00e9cart pour se qualifier pour les demi-finales sans prolongation, une t\u00e2che ardue face \u00e0 cette \u00e9quipe de l'Atl\u00e9tico si r\u00e9siliente.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
