WATCH: Atletico Madrid strike first against Barcelona before Marcus Rashford equalises

Barcelona will go seven points clear at the top of La Liga if they defeat Atletico Madrid, and they still have chances to do so after responding immediately to falling behind at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano inside the first half.

Interestingly, Diego Simeone has opted to rest a number of players for the upcoming Champions League quarter-final first leg between the two teams, and the difference in quality has been noticeable thus. Barcelona have had big chances, but they have failed to take them – and they were punished by conceding the opening goal.

Simeone fires Atleti into first half lead

A long ball over the top was well-collected by Giuliano Simeone, who ran in behind before finishing well beyond Joan Garcia.

But that lead for Atleti lasted mere minutes, as Barcelona are now back on level terms. Marcus Rashford has played a one-two with Dani Olmo before finishing under Juan Musso to make it 1-1.
