A late goal from Lionel Messi enabled Barcelona to emerge with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid on Sunday afternoon at the Estadio Vicente Calderon in Madrid.
Following goals from Rafinha and Diego Godin earlier in the second-half, Messi struck in the 88th minute to give the Catalonians a huge three points. Barcelona momentarily sit atop the La Liga table with 54 points, two points ahead of Real Madrid and Sevilla, with Real in action later on Sunday. Los Blancos also have a game in hand.
For Barcelona, the win should do wonders for their confidence. Coming off the heels of their disastrous 4-0 Champions League loss to PSG and their unconvincing 2-1 league win over Leganes, Luis Enrique's men needed a positive performance and result on Sunday.
