To dominate is not to win, even less against Atlético de Madrid. While Barça thought they had things in hand, the men of Valverde lost 3-2 to stunning Colchoneros who thus offered the right to play their rival Real in the final of the Spanish Super Cup. A match marked, outside of his scenario, by a mini-altercation between Lionel Messi and João Félix. A muddle of several hundred million euros.

While his team was on the verge of breaking in the first period, Koke opened the score nineteen seconds after the return of the locker room (46th) for the Colchoneros, against the course of the game. But Messi, in stride (51st ), and Griezmann (62nd), allowed the Blaugranas to materialize their numerous scoring chances hitherto postponed to return to 2-1.
“Childish” mistakes for Barça
"I had the impression that we had the match in hand ... but Atlético turned the situation around," said Ernesto Valverde, Barça coach, after the match. "We made a lot of mistakes in all areas, in the passes," joined Griezmann. “We wanted this trophy. It is a heavy blow for us (…). It is a result that hurts, "lamented Barcelona captain Messi, adding:" We were having a great game, it's really a shame ... He escapes us for moments of inattention and childish mistakes ".
