Barcelona won three very important points by defeating Atletico Madrid at the Luis Companis Olympic Stadium 1-0, in the match that was held for the 15th round of the Spanish League.
The only goal of the match came from the Atletico Madrid player loaned to Barcelona, Joao Felix, in the 28th minute of the first half of the match.
Despite the guests' repeated attempts to adjust, Barça succeeded in holding on, thus returning to the path of local victories after a 1-1 draw in the last round with Rayo Vallecano.
This defeat represents a new disappointment for Diego Simeone, the coach of Atletico Madrid, as he continues for the eleventh year in a row to fail to achieve any victory over Barcelona in his stadium, whether Camp Nou, or his current temporary stadium, “Luis Companis Olympic Stadium.”
Xavi Hernandez also continued to outperform Simeone in direct confrontations. Since his arrival to coach Barca, he won all 4 of the matches he played with Atletico Madrid.
On the other hand, Barcelona is in third place in the Spanish League standings by reaching point 34, compared to 31 points for the capital club in fourth place.
It should be noted that the top spot in the La Liga standings is held by Real Madrid with 38 points, with a goal difference from the holder of the same score and the pleasant surprise of La Liga this season, Girona.
