And under the Catalan sun, it was Barça who got the better of Atlético Madrid, with a short but precious 1-0 victory. Served by Raphinha, author of a superb match, Ferran Torres scored the only goal of the game in the 44th minute of play, just before half-time, with a flat foot safety with his right foot.
After three matches without a win, and especially without scoring, the Catalan club is therefore back to success and increases its lead at the top of La Liga with 76 points, 11 more than Real Madrid, its runner-up.
Griezmann hit the bar
Opposite, Atlético Madrid did not deserve. In sparkling form with the Colchoneros, Antoine Griezmann leaves frustrated, after touching the bar of Marc-André Ter Stegen after… 45 seconds of play only. The 32-year-old French international striker (119 caps, 43 goals) then stumbled on the German goalkeeper of Barça, author of a nice save on his left foot shot.
