Barcelona Move 11 Points Clear Off Real Madrid After Beating Atletico Madrid 1-0 At Home


Source

FC Barcelona secured three points to move 11 points clear of Real Madrid in the La Liga title race. Ferran Torres scored the only goal of the match and was assisted by Raphinha who played beautifully today at the Spotify Camp Nou. I honestly don't care if it is haram football Barca players, as long as they keep getting the three points and moving forward away from Real Madrid that is all that matters to me at this point of the season.

Barcelona are already title Champions and like I have said several times, the only way Barcelona is losing the league is if they bottled it like what Arsenal are currently doing in the EPL. Today's match had a positive feeling for Barcelona fans. Pedri and Frenkie De Jong were cleared by the medical team and given the green like to play in today's match against Atletico Madrid.

The squad looked to be balanced. Barca held more possession and was more deadly in attacking positions. The defense did their job as usual and the man of the evening for me Ter Stegen was top-notch at the goalposts, made brilliant saves, and kept his clean sheet. Ter Stegen is having the best seasons, his comeback this season is just mind-blowing and I hope the German International coach is watching, Ter Stegen needs to be their main goalkeeper in the coming Euros competition.

Ferran Torres is a player I am not fond of because of his poor finishing in front of goal, but today he stepped up his game and scored the decisive goal that gave Barac all three points against Atletico. Ferran Torres' future in Barcelona is not 100 percent, if a good offer comes he might be sold in the summer, that is why he needs to make every chance he gets on the field to prove why he needs to stay at Barca and big matches like this was the perfect message to Xavi and the board.

Raphinha is a player I have been fond of since he joined Barcelona. There has been a lot of criticism on the Brazilian but I think he has been doing a great job on the field. In 90 minutes played Raphinha:

• Named official MOTM

• 76% accurate passes

• 1 assist

• 6/8 successful dribbles

• 2/3 accurate long balls

• 2/3 aerial duels won

• Created the most chances

• Completed the most dribbles.

These are great stats from the Brazilian but he still gets criticism from some Barca fans. Raphinha also made a huge impact in Barca title race

Assisted the winner:

Vs Osasuna: 3 points

Vs Sevilla: 3 points.

Vs Atletico Madrid: 3 points.

Scored only Goal:

Vs Valencia ⚽️ 3 points.

Vs Atletic Bilbao.⚽️ 3 points.

If all these stats do not show some Barac fans the impact Raphinha has made this season then they don't have ball knowledge.

Lewandoski has been off form lately but I still think he will get his scoring mojo back, he is the highest goalscorer in La Liga and for Barcelona this season in all competition and he's Lewandoski the goal scoring machine( although Haaland has taken that title 😂). Dembele has been seen training with the squad during the week, although he has not been given green light by the medical team yet, I am sure he will be available for the next match.

Happy Barca are back to winning ways and key players returning to the squad. it's just a matter of time before Barca are crowned champions and I can't wait for it to happen. So guys that will be all for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a good evening.
