FC Barcelona managed to get all three points against Atlético de Madrid at the Camp Nou stadium, by the slightest difference, however, with controversial plays such as Sergio Busquets' handball. The Colchoneros have felt harmed and consider that the hand should be collected although there are also arguments why not.

And it is that, the hand of Sergio Busquets was not ruled as a penalty in favor of Atlético de Madrid because, the Spanish midfielder of FC Barcelona has his back turned and, in addition, it comes from a rebound from his shoulder after the header from Atleti. Therefore it is not a penalty, however they expected it to be.

Atlético de Madrid had good stretches of the match against FC Barcelona, in a match where they went from strength to strength. Xavi Hernández's team had the return of two fundamental players such as Frenkie De Jong and Pedri. But that play of the hand remained in the retina of the fans.

Will Messi arrive?

Although there is still nothing official, the reality is that Lionel Messi wants to return to FC Barcelona and also wants to win the UEFA Champions League with the team. However, UEFA could penalize Barca for the "Negreira" case, which would put Messi's return in risk.
