Atletico Madrid pulled off a stunning turnaround to beatBarcelona

3-2 in an enthralling Spanish Super Cup tie in Saudi Arabia and book their place in the final of the revamped competition where they will face Real Madrid.

                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Argentine forward Angel Correa struck the decisive goal in the th minute to complete an unlikely late comeback for Atletico after Barca had dominated the second half and had two goals ruled out following VAR reviews.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Substitute Koke had put Atletico in front at the start of the second half but Lionel Messi leveled in the 53 st minute. Messi soon put the ball in the net again but his second effort was ruled out for handball following a VAR review.

Former Atletico striker Griezmann did put Barca in front in the 76 th while Gerard Pique thought he had extended their lead moments later but that goal was also ruled out after a VAR review, this time for a fractional offside against Arturo Vidal.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Atleti had spent most of the second half trying to stop waves of Barca attacks but got a lifeline when substitute Vitolo was tripped by goalkeeper Neto and striker Alvaro Morata equalised from the penalty spot in the st minute. Stand-in keeper Neto was also at fault for the winning goal, failing to properly block Correa’s shot which bounced into the net to cap an incredible match.

Barcelona 2-3 Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid relied on late goals and some sloppy Barcelona defending to book their place in Sunday’s final with city rivals Real Madrid, not that they will mind.

Barcelona were leading until minutes from full time when Alvaro Morata converted from the spot and the game was won when Angel Correa’s saved shot made it over the line with precious few minutes for Ernesto Valverde’s side to turn things around.After a forgettable first half, Koke marked his introduction after the break with a goal just seconds after coming on.

This sparked Barcelona into life and Messi and Griezmann quickly had the LaLiga champions ahead before the late drama unfolded.

Messi is searching for one final moment of brilliance in this game, in fact he’s been very quiet for large parts of this, and weaves his way past a number of challenges before crossing over everyone in the area and behind for a goal kick.

Scenes! Absolute scenes!Barcelona are so easily undone as Morata sets Correa through on goal. There’s no offside and he’s one-on-one with Neto. The goalkeeper saves his shot but the ball bounces beyond him and into the net!

Neto has to do better, but if we ‘re picking holes in Barcelona let’s start with the massive one in defense.

Nope). Offside. Offside.

Vidal is offside by the barest of margins from the initial free kick pass. That’s very close.
