Atletico Madrid 0-1 Barcelona: Messi nets late winner to put Barca top of LaLiga
Posted Monday, December 02, 2019 by Goal.com
Barcelona forward Lionel Messi struck late to secure a valuable victory over Atletico Madrid.
Lionel Messi scored a dramatic late winner as Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium to return to the summit of LaLiga on Sunday.
Real Madrid had temporarily claimed top spot on Saturday after a 2-1 win at Alaves but Barca's victory put them ahead on goal difference.
Atletico had enjoyed the best of the chances in an engrossing contest but remain winless in 19 LaLiga games against the Catalans.
Ernesto Valverdes's side were indebted to goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen for two breath-taking saves in the first half.
