The team of coach Atlético mercenary João Félix made it 0-1; After halftime, Robert Lewandowski and Fermín López created the margin of three. Barcelona passes Girona in the rankings and is eight points behind leaders Real Madrid. Atlético drops to fifth place.

On the Atlético side, Memphis Depay was not given a starting place despite his heroic role in the midweek Champions League meeting with Inter. Álvaro Morata formed the attack with Rodrigo Riquelme. At Barcelona, ​​Lewandowski was flanked by Raphinha and João Félix.

On a pass from Rodrigo De Paul, Marcos Llorente was given a free shooting opportunity on the edge of sixteen. The Spaniard covered his face when his effort flew inches wide. The opening phase was definitely for Atlético, who could and perhaps should have taken the lead through Pablo Barrios. However, he shot wide.

Ilkay Gündogan was responsible for the 0-1 ten minutes before half-time. The Germany international passed his direct opponent and delivered a tight pass to Lewandowski. The striker passed back to João Félix, who worked the ball into the far corner: 0-1. The Portuguese, owned by Atlético, celebrated his party in a very modest way.

For Xavi, the game ended a few minutes before halftime. The coach did not agree with a decision by referee José Sánchez and, to his own incomprehension, had to go to the stands. Morata then had a great chance to score the equalizer, but the Spanish international shot wildly over in a promising position.

A dramatic pass from De Paul led to the 0-2 score barely a minute and a half after halftime. The midfielder simply handed in to Raphinha, who gave it to Lewandowski. The Pole hit the ball from the turn via the inside of the far post: 0-2. Atlético quickly looked for the attack, but came up against Ter Stegen three times.

The German goalie first saved on an attempt in Riquelme's short corner. Llorente fired a well-pressed shot from the subsequent corner kick, but Ter Stegen went to the ground in time to counter the Spaniard's effort. Ter Stegen then got up in time to turn substitute Memphis' rebound from very close range with his foot.

Halfway through the second half, Atlético was able to forget a result. A deep ball provided the necessary space for Barcelona. Lewandowski picked up the ball on the right side of the sixteen and brought the ball excellently in front of the goal, where Fermín López was ready to head it into the far corner: 0-3.

Atlético subsequently played a losing match and knew it. Came every now and then los Colchoneros still close to Ter Stegen, who never had to worry. The most remarkable thing in the final phase took place with the substitution of João Félix, who was shouted out en masse during his substitution. Nahuel Molina was shown a red card deep in injury time for bringing down Vitor Roque. The free kick that followed was shot wide by Lewandowski.
