For the second day of the consecutive championship, Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid missed the mark this weekend, contenting themselves with a draw, against Osasuna and Celta Vigo respectively. A senator train that FC Barcelona was able to take advantage of, credited today from a fourth row victory in Liga to resume command.
Faced with Rayo Vallecano on the lawn of Montjuic, the Blaugranas struggled to make the difference on Monday evening, victorious on the smallest of the margins thanks to a penalty transformed by Lewandowski shortly before the half hour of play (1-0, 28e). An advantage then logical, however, undermined by combative and catchy visitors.
Barça was hot
At the end of the first period as well, the Madrid of Vallecas should have obtained the equalization – only the signed goal of Frutos (43e) was finally invalidated for an Off-Jeu de Position de Nteka, which in no way influenced the action. And the cleaver to go very closely in the additional time of the game when the same de Frutos saw his recovery of the head at close range flee the frame of the Catalan cage (90e+1).
Certainly, FC Barcelona gets away this evening, with a leadership found at the expense of a Real Madrid preceded unlike goals – Atlético de Madrid hardly pointing to a length of the classic tandem. Eight days from a king's cup final which will oppose the Blaugranas and Colchoneros.
