An eventful first half at the Nou Camp, but a frustrating one for the home side.

Fernando Torres gave Atletico Madrid a lead in the Champions League quarter final first leg, only to be sent off seven minutes later. Despite the numerical advantage, Barca trailed at half-time, and were fortunate not to have Luis Suarez sent off. The former Liverpool man should have been dismissed for this kick on Juanfran. https://twitter.com/ahadfooty/status/717442569467207680 The referee and his assistants failed to spot the incident and, predictably, the Uruguayan was on hand to score a couple of second half goals.
