How did the match pan out?

Diego Costa scored an own goal after getting his feet muddled up from a clever Messi set-piece. Moments later, Atletico were handed a penalty. Costa missed the same but Atletico were awarded a retake after Ter Stegen was off his line. Saul leveled things this time. Messi celebrated his 700th goal with a panenka-style penalty. However, Saul converted another penalty to lighten things up.
