Gerard Pique: Atletico victory is more than just a win for Barcelona

Gerard Pique says that Barcelona’s win over Atletico felt like “more than a victory” after seeing his team defeat the defending champions and leapfrog Diego Simeone’s side into fourth place in the table.

The defender shared his thoughts with Barca TV after the match and also spoke about how the team won “playing great football” and felt the hosts “were superior and deserved the victory.”

Barca had to come from behind after Yannick Carraso had opened the scoring early on but hit back with a thunderbolt from Jordi Alba. Gavi’s header made it 2-1 before Ronald Araujo and Dani Alves scored to put Barca in charge.
