Barcelona dropped their first points of the season after they were held to a 1-1 draw at Atlético Madrid on Saturday evening, although results elsewhere mean they extend their lead at the top to five points. Griezmann tested Ter Stegen a couple of times before Saúl Níguez fired the locals in to the lead in the twentieth minute. After the restart though Oblak had to keep out Luis Suárez and Messi before Messi hit the post with a free kick, and with eight minutes to go Luis Suárez headed the equaliser from a Sergi Roberto centre.
