Re: Barcelona - NouCamp Faithful
Atletico Madrid 1 - 0 Barcelona : Atletico make history
2nd Leg (Atletico wins 2-1 on agg)
Atletico Madrid reached the semifinals of the Champions League for the first time following a 1-0 win over Spanish rivals Barcelona.
Koke's fifth-minute strike was enough to send Atletico through to the last four, although Diego Simeone's men could have killed the tie off in a breathless first 20 minutes.
Atletico, without injured star striker Diego Costa, hit the woodwork three times during their early burst and wasted several other chances late on.
It was the sort of profligacy that Barca might have been expected to punish, but they never found any consistent attacking threat - with Lionel Messi largely ineffective - to send the Catalans to their earliest exit in seven years.
