After joao felix

LaLiga EA Sports: FC Barcelona desperately needed the three points when they hosted Atletico de Madrid on Sunday night, and they got the job done. A Joao Felix goal in the first half was enough for Barca to secure a 1-0 victory, one which completely shakes up the LaLiga EA Sports title race.

Following the results of Matchday 15, Real Madrid and Girona FC still lead the way on 38 points each courtesy of their latest wins. FC Barcelona are now just four points back on 34 points, while Atletico de Madrid will also be on 34 points if they win their game in hand, which is coming up against Sevilla FC later this December. It truly is a four horse race and next Sunday’s FC Barcelona vs Girona FC fixture could be key in deciding the destination of the trophy.

FC Barcelona will enter that Catalan derby full of confidence and on the back of two important victories. After Joao Felix produced the winner on Tuesday night as Barca defeated Porto 2-1 to clinch qualification for the next round of the Champions League, the 24-year-old was the team’s hero again on Sunday by beautifully dinking a ball over former teammate Jan Oblak in the 28th minute of the match.
