Lionel Messi’s spectacular free-kick earned Barcelona a vital win over title rivals Atletico Madrid on Sunday and extended
their lead to eight points at the top of La Liga.
Barcelona were better in the early stages and went ahead when Messi swerved a dead ball into the top corner after 26 minutes,
his 600th career goal for club and country.
The hosts were dealt a blow when Andres Iniesta went off with a hamstring injury, making him a doubt to face Chelsea on March
14.
In a tense but exciting battle there were few clear cut chances, with both Luis Suarez and Kevin Gameiro having goals correctly
disallowed for offside.
Barcelona held on for the win against Diego Simeone’s second-place side and took a huge step towards the title.
