WEB Barcelona 1-0 Atletico Madrid: Memphis Depay Free Kick Earns Blaugrana Narrow Victory
Barcelona Move Three Points Clear at the Top
WEB Barcelona edged out Atletico Madrid 1-0 at the Spotify Camp Nou on Sunday, thanks to a stunning free-kick goal from Memphis Depay. The Blaugrana's hard-fought victory saw them extend their lead at the top of La Liga to three points, while Atletico remain second with two games left to play.
Depay's Spectacular Free-Kick
The match was a cagey affair, with both teams struggling to create clear-cut chances. However, the deadlock was broken in the 87th minute when Ousmane Dembele was fouled on the edge of the penalty area. Depay stepped up to take the free-kick and curled a magnificent effort into the bottom corner, leaving Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak with no chance.

Barcelona's victory was not entirely convincing, but it was a testament to their resilience and determination. They defended resolutely throughout the match, with goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen making a string of important saves to keep Atletico at bay.
Real Madrid Can Still Challenge
