Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid: Score, Reaction from 2016 La Liga Match

Barcelona took a major step towards securing the 2015-16 La Liga title on Saturday, beating Atletico Madrid 2-1 at the Camp Nou.

The visitors took the lead through Koke and appeared to be in control, but Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez turned the situation around for the Catalans in the first half. Filipe Luis was sent off for a horror tackle just before half-time, and Diego Godin joined him for an early shower after the break.

The win sees Barcelona take sole possession of the top spot in the standings, and the defending champions still hold a match in hand.
