CLASSIC MATCH
Atletico Madrid 4-3 Barcelona, March 1, 2009
Sergio Aguero struck an 89th-minute winner to secure victory for Atletico in a thrilling game at Vicente Calderon. Thierry Henry’s first-half brace had put Barcelona in control and, though Diego Forlan and Aguero struck either side of the break, Lionel Messi restored the visitors’ advantage after 73 minutes. But Forlan levelled from the spot before Aguero won it late on to cap a thrilling comeback.
