I've said this before but Atletico are an MC Escher painting. Somehow no matter how many guys you play around there's always more guys.

MESSI just wide! His bicycle kick attempt goes just to the right of the post. Would’ve been his 500th career goal #UCL

How the fck didn't Suarez get a straight red for this blatant kick???
Not even a caution?!#FCBAtleti pic.twitter.com/9OdRQdfXgn— Formerly Gza (@GoonerManN5) April 5, 2016
Barça throwing haymakers at Atleti, and the visitors are absorbing them (for now). Electric stuff.

Atletico literally defending with ten men in their own box at points here. Amazing.

Got to be honest, I got bored watching Barcelona a long time ago. But Suarez staying on tonight? Bit of a joke.
