It's Barca who are playing on the counter now.

Pedri leads the charge and finds Franck Kessie, who rolls it off for Ousmane Dembele to drag wide.

Atleti just cannot finish the chances off.

Marcos Llorente, who is still on, drills a low, left-footed effort straight at the Barca goalkeeper.

Alvaro Morata and Geoffrey Kondogbia replace Pablo Barrios and Yannick Carrasco for Atletico Madrid.

Barca are inches away from doubling their lead as Ousmane Dembele races onto a pass but his low shot deflects onto the foot of the post.

Double change for Barca just before the hour mark.

Frenkie de Jong and Ansu Fati make way.

Franck Kessie and Ferran Torres are on.

Barca defender Ronald Araujo booked for a lunge on Koke, catching the Atletico Madrid skipper on top of his foot.

A painful one.

Atleti threatening in the second half.

Nahuel Molina's low cross is perfect, right into the feet of Antoine Griezmann but the Frenchman shanks over from eight yards out.

Joao Felix has been linked with a move away from Atletico Madrid and can put a couple more million onto his pricetag, but blazes way over from range.

They'll be giving him away after that.

Sergio Busquets stick out a boot in the middle of the park and almost inadvertently plays Antoine Griezmann through on goal, but Ronald Araujo is on hand to clear up.

Back under way again in the second half.

Atletico Madrid have options on the bench with Alvaro Morata. They have to attack with speed down the flanks but don't have a reference point up front.

They have to free Joao Felix and Antoine Griezmann behind Morata.

The goal changed everything, Xavi wanted to control the game and Diego Simeone wanted to make sure nothing happened.

Atletico Madrid do it well when they have to take the initiative, attacking down the flanks, people heading the ball, linking up well.

They can do this so why don't they do it from the beginning? Can anyone answer this?

Ousmane Dembele's goal is the difference at the break.

Another opening for Atleti but again Nahuel Molina cannot find the target with his shot, this time dragging wide of the far post.

What a save!

Atletico Madrid fashion their best opening of the game.

The pink-haired Antoine Griezmann controls the ball and smacks a rising shot which is tipped over the bar by Marc-Andre Ter Stegen's flying save.

Marcos Llorente is slipped through down the right flank by Nahuel Molina and is bundled over by Alejandro Balde.

Again, the referee waves play on.

Atleti getting closer?

They've finally got going and are causing Barca a few issues now.

Jose Gimenez plays a brilliant pass through to Nahuel Molina on the gallop, but the Argentina right-back's thunderous drive flies wide.

The referee decides there's no foul when Ronald Araujo comes through the back of Joao Felix.

The home supporters are incensed.

And rightly so.

Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez, the VAR so good they named him twice, decided there's no handball from Ronald Araujo from that Marcos Llorente shot.

Meanwhile, Atleti should be level but Jose Gimenez's powerful header flashes wide of the post.

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen was beaten.

Half the ground thought it was in.

Antoine Griezmann plays a lovely dinked pass onto the run of Marcos Llorente, but the Spaniard's thumping drive deflects into the side-netting.
