Barcelona move seven points clear in La Liga

Barcelona secured a vital 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid thanks to a dramatic late goal from Robert Lewandowski. The victory comes just hours after Real Madrid slipped to a surprise 2-1 loss against Mallorca, allowing the Catalans to extend their lead at the summit to seven points.

Coach Hansi Flick acknowledged the importance of the win but cautioned that the title race is not yet over. With the sides set to meet in the Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico coach Diego Simeone fielded a weakened side, rotating heavily ahead of the upcoming European clash.
