Barcelona go 9 points clear of Real Madrid at the top

Barcelona won against Athletic Club in the La Liga on Sunday night.

FC Barcelona won another La Liga game which was played on Sunday night, 12th March against Athletic Club in their home stadium named San Mammes Barria. The game was another thrilling despite a single goal scored. It was another fantastic day for Xavi as they have now gone 9 points ahead of the defending champions Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table.

Only a single goal was scored in this game which was enough for the league leaders to get the three points and take a huge lead in the points table. Despite bad performances at UEFA champions League and UEFA Europa League this season, Barcelona are the team to beat in La Liga (2022/23 season).

Raphinha gave the breakthrough and it came just before the half-time’s whistle. Athletic Club did try to equalise in the second half but wasn’t successful in doing that, thanks to Barcelona’s defence line.
