Watch: Atletico's Correa levels amid Barcelona backline buffoonery
@LaLiga/Twitter
Atletico Madrid second-half substitute Angel Correa leveled matters a minute after coming on for Kevin Gameiro in Wednesday's clash at Barcelona, courtesy of an uncharacteristically catastrophic display from the hosts' centre-half pairing.
First, Gerard Pique was nutmegged by Fernando Torres' incisive ball, then Javier Mascherano was bested by his La Albiceleste mate Correa, who struck a right-footed effort on the edge of the area that Marc-Andre ter Stegen knew little about. It was just Correa's fifth touch of the match and Torres' first. 1-1, game on.
