Barca Maintain La Liga Lead As Madrid Edge Atletico In Derby Thriller

By IANS News March 23, 2026 • 09:46 AM View: 82

La Liga: Barcelona took a four-point lead over Real Madrid into the international break after grinding out a 1-0 home win over Rayo Vallecano, while Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 3-2 in a lively derby.

Atletico struck first at the Santiago Bernabeu when Giuliano Simeone combined neatly with Ademola Lookman, who opened the scoring in the 33rd minute.

Vinicius Junior leveled from the penalty spot 10 minutes after halftime after David Hancko fouled Brahim Diaz, and poor defending from Jose Gimenez allowed Fede Valverde to put Madrid ahead three minutes later.
