Barcelona won 1-0 against Rejo Vallecano and regained the lead in La Liga after a few weeks. After the suspension of Real and Atletico Madrid, the Catalans were not allowed a false step to climb to the first place even though they were equal on points with Los Blancos.
The match started better for the home team, who had many chances to score but luck was not on their side. After several attempts in the 26th minute, Martinez was fouled in the area by Ciss and the main referee went to the VAR system.
After reviewing the footage, the referee pointed to the penalty spot. There, Polish player Robert Lewandowski made no mistake and gave the Catalans the lead.
Although Barcelona dominated almost the entire match, Vallecano also had its chances. In the 42nd minute, the visitors had a goal disallowed for offside, which led to much controversy.
That was enough for Hansi Flick's team to secure three crucial points in the race for the championship title. As for Albanian national team defender Ivan Balliu, he remained on the bench for the entire match.
After the 24th week in La Liga, Barcelona returns to the top with 51 points, the same as Real Madrid, followed by Atletico, who has one point less. (A2 Televizion)
