Madrid: Robert Lewandowski shined with a goal and two assists in La Liga as Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid. Xavi’s team won by three uncontested goals. Jao Felix and Fermin Lopez scored the rest of Barca’s goals.
The match started with the progress of Atletico Madrid. However, Barca goalkeeper Terstegen’s mistake resulted in Barrios’ attempt to score and then Alvaro Morata’s chance. Barca’s first goal was scored in the 38th minute. Gundogan passed the ball and Lewandowski crossed to Javo Felix. All Felix had to do was put his foot on the ball. Barca coach Xavi was shown a second yellow card and had to leave the stadium for bad behavior just before half-time. Soon after, Morata wasted another chance and it was a setback for Atlético.
Barca scored the second goal as soon as the second half started. Rafinha Lewandowski caught the Atlético star’s mispass and doubled the lead with a clinical finish. Terstegen brilliantly blocked Atletico’s three goal attempts immediately. The third goal was in the 65th minute. Firmin Lopez headed in a cross from Lewandowski. Atletico’s Nahual Molina was sent off for a foul on Vitor Roque who advanced with the ball in injury time. Barça could not capitalize on the resulting free kick.
With the win, Barca climbed to second place with 64 points. Real Madrid is first with 72 points. Girona is third with 62 points.
