With a 3-0 victory over Real Oviedo on Sunday, Barcelona regained the top spot in La Liga courtesy to goals from Dani Olmo, Raphinha, and a stunning effort by Lamine Yamal. The Catalans gained a point again as Real Madrid defeated Villarreal on Saturday to take first place overnight. Earlier, Atletico Madrid easily defeated Mallorca 3-0 to solidify their third-place standing and fall eight points behind Barcelona. Oviedo, who have only won twice this season, are at the bottom of the table, yet Barca had to fight hard to win because the visitors put up a strong defense to hold Hansi Flick’s squad at bay until the second half. According To Sports Ndtv.
At the partially repaired Camp Nou, the talent of the hosts eventually showed, and Barca never looked back when Olmo opened the score.

Teenage sensation Yamal’s goal, an outstanding volley from Olmo’s cross to seal Barcelona’s victory, was the highlight of the match.After his team failed to gain ground in the first half, Flick defended them to reporters, saying, “We have game after game, a lot of travel, we came back late at night (from Prague in midweek), and that’s what you also have to see.”
“In the first half we struggled a little bit, we didn’t have the confidence we normally need… but in the end the second half was much better.”
Yamal’s hard work in pushing was commended by the coach, who stated that it was even more important as his spectacular strike.The first goal, the way he pressed, the fact that he recovered the ball, and the fact that we scored it were, in my opinion, far more crucial as they were what allowed us to start the game and win three points,” Flick said.
