Diego Godin looks back on his LALIGA -winning goal against Barca in 2014 : “It’s hard to put into words what it’s like when your body is taken over by such emotion and joy”

When you think of Diego Simeone’s historic time in charge at Atlético de Madrid, one of the first things that comes to mind is his side’s unforgettable comeback against FC Barcelona at the Spotify Camp Nou on the final day of the 2013-14 season, a 1-1 draw which handed Los Colchoneros their first LALIGA EA SPORTS title in almost 20 years.

Both sides went into that match with a chance to win the title, and when Barça went 1-0 up in the first half it looked as if the trophy would be staying in Catalonia. But just after half time, up stepped Diego Godín with a glancing header from a corner to make it 1-1. Atleti held on, and the goal not only won the title but also went down in history as one of the most important in the club’s history.

In this interview, the Uruguayan defender looks back on that iconic goal, the intense emotions of that day, winning the LALIGA title against all the odds, and where it ranks among the greatest moments of his career.
