3 years ago I would agree with you, but Atleti have no brains when defending vs Barca. They all look like first half Vidal vs Barca.
This, they lose to them often because they lose themselves in senseless tackling, 20 mins of each half they play really well, organised warriors, but then succumb to the rash aggression. Which is a shame because even 1-2 players down they had some momentum to make something happen and maybe tie, Barca were too cautious and careful, so could done some damage if it werent for the dumb red cards they should avoided, focus on your solid gameplan that was working instead of aiming for legs...
