Nahuel Molina vies with Frenkie de Jong during the Spanish league football match between FC Barcelona and Club Atletico de Madrid at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona on April 23, 2023. AFPPIX: Ferran Torres’ strike helped Barcelona emerge from a recent slump to earn a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid yesterday in La Liga, taking a big step towards clinching their first title since 2019.
Both sides had clear chances to score in the second half but Barcelona held on to their lead to inflict Atletico’s first defeat since these sides met in January at the Metropolitano. Xavi brought Frenkie de Jong back into the starting line-up after injury, but Pedri had to make do with a seat on the bench after his two-month absence.
“It’s a fact that being decisive makes you champions — if you’re strong in both boxes, you have a much bigger chance of being champions,” said Simeone.
