"Álvarez opened the scoring in the 45th minute with a stunning free kick after Pau Cubarsí had been sent off for a last-man challenge on Giuliano Simeone outside the box."
"The result brought Atlético's long wait for a win at Camp Nou to an end, while they also became the first away team to win at the refurbished stadium since Barça returned last November."
"Álvarez found the top corner from 25 yards, peeling away to celebrate beneath the thousands of Atlético fans shielded by glass in the second tier of Camp Nou."

Alexander Sørloth added a second goal in the second half, putting Atlético in a strong position for the upcoming second leg. This victory ended a 25-match unbeaten run for Barcelona at home since the stadium's refurbishment, highlighting a significant achievement for coach Diego Simeone.
