Barcelona vs Atlético Madrid, La Liga: Final Score 1-0, Barça restore 11-point lead with crucial victory at home

Barcelona have restored their 11-point lead at the top of the La Liga table and are back to winning ways after a three-game winless streak thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Atlético Madrid at the Spotify Camp Nou. Barça played very good attacking football for over 70 minutes but scored only the one goal and had to survive a lot of pressure from the Colchoneros at the end, but found a way to win and boost their chances of finishing the job in the title race.

FIRST HALF

Atlético nearly started the game with a goal as Antoine Griezmann hit the crossbar just 30 seconds into the match, and Barça’s defense was a little shaky in the first 10 minutes.
