    Much, much better from Atletico Madrid.

    Diego Costa takes the ball in his stride and thumps a shot which is blocked by Samuel Umtiti.

    The two then tangle on the rebound, and Costa goes down like he has been taken out by a sniper inside the Nou Camp.

    Sub Angel Correa has improved Atletico Madrid's attacking options immediately.

    His direct running forces Samuel Umtiti to scramble back and intercept a cross.

    Saul Niguez then loops a header into the hands of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.

    I think that is the first save the German has had to make, it has taken an hour.
