MADRID, Spain -- Three things from the Estadio Vicente Calderon Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-0 in their Champions League quarterfinal second leg to claim a spot in the semifinals, 3-2 on aggregate .
1. Simeone's plan works to perfection
Antoine Griezmann's first half header and second half penalty, as well as a typically resolute defence performance, brought Atletico Madrid a richly deserved 2-0 victory over tournament favourites Barcelona, and 3-2 progress for Diego Simeone's team to the last four of the competition.
"Together to victory," said the Calderon mosaic as fans still upset at last week's refereeing in the first leg welcomed the teams to the pitch.
