Joao Felix continued his streak of decisive goals for Barcelona, following up his key strike against Porto last Tuesday with another winner.
In a closely contested match, Barcelona emerged victorious over Atletico Madrid, thanks to a lone goal from Joao Felix, who is on loan from the very team he scored against.
Felix exhibited remarkable skill, deftly chipping the ball over Jan Oblak from a challenging angle in the 28th minute.
Memphis Depay, a former Barcelona player, nearly leveled the score for Atletico with a free-kick, only to see it pushed onto the post by Barcelona’s Inaki Pena.
Barcelona had opportunities to extend their lead, particularly through Robert Lewandowski, who missed several prime chances.
This victory propels the reigning champions, Barcelona, into third place in the La Liga standings, trailing the top two teams, Real Madrid and Girona, by four points.

Tough loss but proud of the team’s effort. We’ll bounce back stronger, #AupaAtleti!
Barca’s defense was on point, but they gotta work on finishing those chances, Lewandowski missed some sitters!
Inaki Pena’s save on Depay’s free-kick was clutch, underrated keeper for sure
wow, Joao Felix really showed his old team what they’re missing, amazing goal from a tight spot!!!
Typical Barca, just scraping by with a 1-0 win. Real Madrid is still the team to beat this season, no doubt about it.
