Atlético Madrid won the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal against Barcelona at Camp Nou in Barcelona. The match reportedly turned on a red card, with Pau Cubarsí sent off after a VAR review for a foul on Giuliano Simeone. Julián Álvarez scored from the resulting free kick, and Alexander Sørloth added a second goal later.
Atlético Madrid played with a man advantage for over half the game. The return leg is scheduled for next Tuesday in Madrid.
