FC Barcelona remains somewhat on the heels of the two top teams in Spain’s La Liga.
At the end of the 15th matchday, the Catalans won the duel against Atlético Madrid 1-0 (1-0), which means they are still four points behind league leaders Real Madrid and FC Girona (both 38 points) in third place. Atlético is another three points behind.
The goal for Barca was scored by Atlético loanee Joao Felix (28th) with an extremely impressive chip.
National team captain Ilkay Gündogan played through. National goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who continues to suffer from back problems, had to be represented again by Inaki Pena – the substitute made some excellent saves.
Real had already defeated FC Granada 2-0 (1-0) on Saturday. Brahim Diaz (26th) took the lead thanks to work from Toni Kroos, and Rodrygo (57th) increased the lead. Girona won against FC Valencia 2-1 (0-0).
