The 30th week's La Liga super match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona played at the "Wanda Metropolitano" ended with a 1-2 victory for the Catalans. The team led by Hansi Flick used the assist provided by Muriqi, who scored the goal in Mallorca's victory over Real Madrid. The Catalans also benefited from Atletico's numerical inferiority, who played the entire second half with 10 players.
Coach Diego Simeone had left several starters on the bench, thinking about the next Champions League challenge, against Barcelona. However, it was the home team who took the lead first.
In the 39th minute, after a long ball from Clement Lenglet, Giuliano Simeone took advantage of a moment of uncertainty in the Barcelona defense and sent the ball into the net, unblocking the score.
Barcelona's reaction was immediate. Just three minutes later, in the 42nd minute, Marcus Rashford equalized after a beautiful combination with Dani Olmo, restoring balance to the match.
In the first half's extra time, Niko Gonzalez was sent off for a harsh challenge on Lamin Jamal. Initially shown a yellow card, the decision was changed to a red card after a VAR review, leaving Atletico with 10 men for the entire second half.
When it was thought that the match would end in a draw, Barcelona found the goal that gave them the 3 golden points towards the title fight. Lewandowski scored the turning point
Another worrying moment for Barcelona was the injury to Ronald Araujo. The Uruguayan defender, recently back from injury, was forced off again, being replaced by Mark Bernal.
After this victory, Barcelona leads the standings with 76 points, 7 points more than second-place Real, while Atletico Madrid holds fourth place with 57 points.
