Match Report

Robert Lewandowski struck in the 87th minute to seal a dramatic 1-2 victory for Barcelona at the Metropolitano, piling more misery on Atlético Madrid in a fiery La Liga clash on Saturday. Giuliano Simeone had given the hosts the lead in the 39th minute, but Barcelona hit back just three minutes later through Marcus Rashford, who played a slick one-two with Dani Olmo before slotting through the keeper's legs. The match turned further in Barça's favour when Nicolás González was sent off deep into first-half stoppage time for a reckless challenge on Lamine Yamal, leaving Atlético down to ten men for the entire second half. With the clock ticking down, Lewandowski bundled home from close range to snatch all three points. The win stretches Barcelona's lead at the top of La Liga to seven points over Real Madrid, who lost at Mallorca earlier in the day, while Atlético remain third on 58 points with eight games to play.
