Barcelona’s win over Atletico has moved Xavi’s side three points clear at the top of the table, coming as it did on a weekend when Real Madrid surprisingly dropped points.
Xavi said before the match that Barca could make a big statement by beating Atletico and that’s exactly what they did, even though it really wasn’t pretty at times.
Barca’s goal was certainly easy on the eye. Pedri drove forward, Gavi turned his man and then Dembele lasered the ball past Jan Oblak.
HIGHLIGHTS: #AtletiBarça 0-1
