Barcelona victory moved Real Madrid down to second place in the table. Barca are top of the table with 19 points from seven matches having won six and drawn one.
Barcelona didn't waste the opportunity afforded by their rivals' defeat at the hands of Atletico. Barcelona played as usual and finished the match with three crucial points. Yamal and Lewa were key players in Barcelona victory today. Now, top spot is back in their hands, and they just need to maintain it for a long time. I just hope that before El Clasico, both teams play consistently without any surprises, because this will be a very interesting match, as the winner will take top spot in the standings.
I have never seen Atletico Madrid as strong as they were against Real Madrid, they played Real Madrid until they were confused and Atletico were pouring the goals as if it was basket ball. This is how unpredictable the Spanish La Liga can be.
Like you said, Barcelona did not spare any efforts at closing the gap between them and Real Madrid and that was the right thing to do for a club that want to win the league. We should be expecting the retaliation of Real Madrid.
