  • Diego Costa is sent off in the clash with Barcelona

    Diego Simeone suggested Atletico Madrid were not receiving fair treatment from officials after late goals condemned his side to a 2-0 defeat at Barcelona following Diego Costa’s red card.

    Costa was dismissed in the 28th minute for squaring up to the referee, leaving his team-mates to face an uphill battle at the home of the league leaders.

    They held out until the 84th minute when Luis Suarez broke the deadlock, moments before Lionel Messi made sure of a win which sends Barca 11 points clear of Atletico at the top of La Liga.

    “We have had many red cards, so we must be doing something wrong,” Simeone said post-match.
