Updated:2026-01-12 07:40    Views:153

Barcelona and Atlético Madrid clashed in the La Liga round 5 match on Saturday night at Camp Nou, with Barcelona winning 2-1 to clinch the title.

Lewandowski scored his second goal for the season, converting a penalty after being fouled by Raphael Varane. The Polish striker is now one goal ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo for the league lead.

The game started brightly as both teams looked to dominate possession early on. However, it was Barcelona who struck first when Lionel Messi found himself alone with the ball after a corner kick. He fired past Atlético goalkeeper Iker Casillas with a stunning strike that went into the bottom right corner of the net.

Despite their dominance, Atlético Madrid came out fighting and fought back to level the score. Samuel Umtiti headed a cross from Luis Suarez, but Sergio Busquets made a superb save to keep out the shot.

The second half saw both sides play well until halftime. Atletico Madrid had a chance to win the game in injury time, but their efforts were cut short when Jordi Alba headed wide of the target from a corner kick.

In the final minutes of regulation time, Lionel Messi was brought down by Javier Mascherano, giving Barcelona the lead. Messi curled a free-kick into the top left corner of the net, sending Atlético goalkeeper Diego Maradona reeling backwards in disbelief.

It was a dramatic finish, but Barcelona held on for victory. The victory puts Barcelona firmly on top of the league standings, while Atlético remains without a point. It will be interesting to see how the team performs against Real Madrid later this week.
