Atletico 1 Barca 0

Not a game to stay long in the memory, but nevertheless powerful for Atletico Madrid who beat Barcelona for the first time in the league since Diego Simeone took charge. We’d probably be discussing a stalemate were it not for Ter Stegen’s hare-brained rush out of the box, but the objective truth is once they were behind, Barca looked absolutely clueless when it came to forcing an equalizer. To add salt to the wounds, Pique’s injury looked really bad. On this evidence, only the victors are going to be involved in the title race.
