Atletico Madrid draws first blood.
It took less than 10 minutes for Atleti to silence the Camp Nou on Saturday, as Los Rojiblancos were rewarded for their early pressure when Saul Niguez did a phenomenal job of keeping the ball in play and produced a cross that found Koke, who one-timed the ball past the outstretched fingertips of Claudio Bravo.
With first place in La Liga at stake, Koke couldn't have picked a better time to score.
