Barcelona secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid in a tense La Liga encounter, all thanks to loanee Joao Felix.
Felix’s goal was the ultimate decider that now puts Barcelona within four points of league leaders Real Madrid.
Recall that Felix is on loan from Atletico. He left the club in September, amidst controversies surrounding his stay and playtime.
Meanwhile, his excellent chip secured the only goal of the match.
In the second half, Atletico attempted to mount a comeback, but Barcelona’s defense deterred them.
Barcelona’s Raphinha hit the post, and substitute Memphis Depay faced a huge save from a free-kick.
Atletico’s Angel Correa also tested Barcelona’s goalkeeper, Inaki Pena, who made a crucial stop.
The win by Xavi Hernandez side put them in a promising position in the La Liga title race.
