And early this morning (December 3), Hansi Flick and his students had a resounding victory over Atletico Madrid , ensuring they are still leading La Liga after round 15 without having to care about the result of Real Madrid vs Bilbao.

Barca beat direct rivals Atletico and put the pressure on Real Madrid, after a performance that Hansi Flick rated as “ one of the best matches in La Liga this season ”.

At home, Barca let Atletico score first in the 19th minute thanks to Baena's goal, but Raphinha (26'), Dani Olmo (65') and Ferran Torres (90+6') helped them come back to an impressive 3-1 win.

Hansi Flick said happily: “ A great match. Barca fought very hard to beat a formidable opponent.

“It was one of the best games of the season. Barca defended as a unit. We controlled the game, found spaces in between the lines. That was good .”

Barca captain said about Raphinha: “ It's great to have Raphinha back. He is one of the most important players for Barca .”

Even coach Diego Simone, despite his team's loss, did not forget to admire Raphinha, who was honored as the best player in the Barca 3-1 Atletico match.

“ Raphinha is incredible. He can play in every position: winger, midfielder, striker, even full-back!

Raphinha can score, create, press and run. I don’t understand why he didn’t win the Ballon d’Or. Everyone can choose the player they want and I choose Raphinha .”

For his part, Raphinha shared: “ We knew how difficult it would be to play against Atletico, but the team won. Barca is gradually regaining confidence and this victory can influence the game, can help us win La Liga”.
