Atletico Madrid v Barcelona – La Liga result as Joao Felix scores against parent club followed by Lewandowski and Lopez goals

JOAO FELIX SCORES AGAINST PARENT CLUB AS BARCELONA END ATLETICO MADRID’S UNBEATEN HOME RECORD

Joao Felix came back to haunt his parent club sliding home the opening goal as Barcelona recorded a 3-0 win at Atletico Madrid.

The Portuguese forward was only making his fifth start of the season on loan at Barcelona but took his 39th minute chance well.

Barcelona had started the game slowly before clicking into gear despite boss Xavi being sent off after expressing his anger at the officials.

Just two minutes into the second half Robert Lewandowski doubled Barcelona’s lead with a fine finish from a tight angle.

The experienced Polish striker then turned playmaker providing a perfect cross for Fermin Lopez to complete the win.

After losing their unbeaten home league record it got worse for Atletico in the final minutes when Nahuel Molina brought down Vitor Roque and was shown red.

Barcelona are still eight points behind leaders Real Madrid, while Atletico sit a point outside the top four Champions League positions.
