Estadio Civitas Metropolitano: On Sunday night, FC Barcelona put together one of their best performances of the 2023/24 season, thrashing Atletico de Madrid 3-0 on the road. The capital city side hadn’t lost a LaLiga match at the Estadio Civitas Metropolitano since January of 2023, also against Barca, but after 25 league games undefeated in front of their home fans Los Colchoneros were put to the sword by a clinical Azulgrana attack.

Despite suffering a setback when Andreas Christensen, who had been excellent in recent weeks, went down injured in the warm-ups, FC Barcelona took to the pitch with purpose. Joao Felix opened the scoring in the first half against the club he is on loan from, before Robert Lewandowski started the second 45 minutes by scoring his 13th goal of the season.

Fermin Lopez, the player who came in for the injured Christensen, rounded off the scoring to earn FC Barcelona three points that place them eight behind Real Madrid with nine rounds to go and with El Clasico on the horizon.
