Atletico Upset Barcelona To Go Top Of La Liga

By IANS News December 22, 2024 • 09:32 AM View: 103

Rodrigo De Paul: Atletico Madrid ended the year as leader in La Liga after winning 2-1 away to FC Barcelona with virtually the last attack of the game.

Alexander Sorloth scored the winning goal for Atletico with a thumping left-foot finish in the sixth minute of injury time, after Atletico caught Barca flat-footed as the home side looked for the winning goal in a game it could have resolved long beforehand.

Pedri opened the scoring in the 30th minute after a run outside the Atletico area ended with Gavi giving him what looked like an accidental return pass to beat goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
