Fermin’s brace for Barca’s win in Madrid
Barcelona have finally won a big game. They had succumbed to Paris Saint-Germain, lost to Real Madrid and even raised doubts among some of their own supporters about whether they were capable of competing with the heavyweights. Then they travelled to Madrid and not only withstood Atlético’s attacks but also beat them with a comeback, defending their position at the top of the La Liga table ahead of the two-week international break. It was not the finest performance produced by Hansi Flick, but it was a mature display of the kind Barcelona had failed to deliver both in last season’s Copa del Rey and in their Champions League matches. This 2–1 victory at the end of the 12th round is proof that the reigning Spanish champions are ready to claim another title.5? – El @FCBarcelona_es ❤️💙 se ha impuesto en sus últimos cuatro partidos como visitante ante el Atlético de Madrid en @LaLiga.
