In 2013-2014, the Spanish La Liga title came down to a head-to-head matchup for the first time since 1951, with Atletico Madrid needing at least a draw against Barcelona at the Camp Nou to become champions for the first time since 1996. The title actually switched hands twice during the game, with Barcelona scoring the opener in the first half (off a Lionel Messi chest assist) and Atleti equalizing from a corner in the second. They would hold on for the title (and receive a standing ovation from an incredibly gracious Camp Nou), despite losing both their leading goal scorer and #10 to injuries in the first half. Name either goal scorer from this game.
