Barcelona produced a dominant display as they secured an emphatic 4-2 victory over Atletico Madrid at the Nou Camp on Saturday afternoon to go fourth in LaLiga.
Match Report
The visitors took an early lead through Belgium international Yannick Carrasco inside eight minutes.
Atletico were ahead for just two minutes, though, as Jordi Alba fired a thunderous volley leaving Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak with no chance inside 10 minutes.
Gavi then put the hosts ahead with a thumping header, following a cross by new signing Adama Traore who was making his debut.
Ronaldo Araujo added another, beating Oblak from close range to make it 3-1, as Dani Alves made sure of the points smashing the ball past the Slovenian shot-stopper inside 49 minutes as the Catalan giants ran riot.
Atletico put up a fight, however, and former Barca boy Luis Suarez got on the scoresheet adding a consolation on 58 minutes, but it wasn't enough to mount a comeback.
It was quite the afternoon for Barca's Alves who produced an assist, goal, and was sent off with 20 minutes to go for a stamp on the back of Carrasco's leg after VAR intervened deeming the challenge serious foul play, but Barca managed to hang on to secure all three points.

Match Analysis! Adama was a beast. He provided us something which we lack for so long... Width pace and strength. Barca pressed with much more intensity and that gave us the dominance in the 1st half. Gavi as a false winger was an intelligent decision by Xavi. Gavi gave the width in addition to overloading the midfield. Busi is fkin deadweight. The only thing he did good in the match was to get herrera booked or maybe he got booked because the kick was given to atleti. Barca yet again suffered in the 2nd half inspite of the lead yet they were much more composed than they have been before. They didnt crumble and somehow managed to get the ball forward. Busi tried his best to gave away most of the possession but this time he failed. Overall it was the game barca needed to rejuvenate their laliga hopes and also up their morale for the europa. Vamoss💪🔴🔵
