Barcelona jump over Atletico Madrid in the LaLiga table after an impressive comeback. Xavi’s side came from a goal down to win 4-2 at Camp Nou.
Yannick Carrasco opened the scoring and gave Diego Simeone’s side the lead with a tidy finish but minutes later Jordi Alba struck a volley from the left to equalise.
Gavi then gave Barcelona the lead after an excellent cross from new signing, Adama Traore. But Barca pushed forward and extended their lead moments before the half-time.
Gerard Pique’s header rebounded off the bar and fell to Ronald Araujo. He was quickest to react and smashed home the loose ball.
Dani Alves was exceptional as his drilled strike made it 4-1
Luis Suarez’s return to the Nou Camp was his first in front of the Barca fans and he pulled a goal back to somewhat inspire Atletico with half an hour still to play.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang made his debut and held the ball up well when Barcelona were playing a man down.
