Not Atletico tonight, de Paul (gay)
Go into the break feeling great, Barca gey)
Expelled despite the great victory, Xavi gey)
After the successful European week, Barcelona gave a great show this evening (Sunday) when they defeated Atletico Madrid 0:3 and inflicted Diego Simeone with his biggest loss ever at the Metropolitano. Xavi’s team returned to second place in the table.
Robert Lewandowski who is in good form recorded probably his best game of the season. Barca’s Polish striker carried his team to 11 goals in all competitions in 2024 and two great assists, which narrowed the gap from Real Madrid back to just 8 points.
Lewandowski cooked in a great way for Joao Felix in the 38th minute, who set the halftime result – 0:1. The ex-Atletico player did not celebrate following scoring at the Metropolitano, marking his second goal of the season once morest his former club. Lewandowski scored on a great turn with a kick to the crossbar and into the net in the 47th minute to take the wind out of Atletico’s sails. The Pole charged into the box in the 65th minute and found the head of Fermin Lopes who determined the result of the game.
Atlético Madrid not only suffers its first loss of the season at home in the league, but also remains in fifth place in the table at the end of the 29th round, with the head perhaps in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but next season it is not at all certain that it will be there. Diego Simeone’s team has not been in business since they suffered towards the end of the first half and the entry of Antoine Griezmann and Memphis Depay in the second half did not change anything.
The only thing that might overshadow Barca’s victory is the dismissal of Xavi Simcha towards the referee. In any case, his team records a fourth win in the last five games and will go into the international break with a great feeling.
