Barca choke Cholo's Atleti in a brutal 3-0 away win

Both teams were flying high on the wings of their respective Champions League triumphs, but Wanda Metropolitano surprisingly witnessed a brutal 3-0 win. Only not of their loved ones.

Barcelona brushed aside Atletico Madrid in a spectacular manner for the most impressive away win against the same rival ever since 2012 (4-1 for the Blaugrana). Also, that was the first time Simeone lost to Barca at home by a margin of three goals.

To make it even more awkward, the man who opened the scoring tonight was none other than Joao Felix, Atleti's player on loan at the Camp Nou outfit.

His tap-in stunned the hosts, who were obviously still in their thoughts in midweek, and that fantastic win over Inter Milan.

After conceding that first one, Los Colchoneros dropped rapidly as the visitors took total control of the game.

It became as one-sided as it gets seconds after the restart, as Lewandowski netted one of his trademark goals following De Paul's horrible mistake near the area.

When young Fermin Lopez buried a header for 3-0 around the 65-minute mark, it was blatant we were heading to the lowest moment of Atleti's season so far.

The pale hosts were unable to peg at least one back as Barcelona celebrated another capital win, even without the help of their boss Xavi Hernandez, who was sent off early in the first half for protesting.
