Barcelona entered the match with little fighting spirit. Former player Munir El Haddadi was responsible for the corner kick in the 4th minute, with Sergio converting it into the only goal of the match.
Although Barcelona dominated possession throughout the game, Hansi Flick’s side attacked resolutely, tiring themselves out trying to break through the defense.
Following this match, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona sit at the top of the table with 38 points, while Real Madrid is in 3rd place with 37 points. However, Barcelona has played one more game, giving them a disadvantage in the race for the top spot. Barcelona’s poor form in their last six matches has created significant tension within the team.
