Barcelona performed solidly against Atletico Madrid, all thanks to exceptional performances from players. Dani Alves who made a return to Barcelona this year after 8 years, entertained us all. Alves assisted Jordi Alba in the 10th minute of the game, then scored the fourth goal in the 49th minute.
When it seemed all perfect for the Brazilian, he received a red card for a nasty challenge. Referee of the match, Jesus Gil Manzano showed a straight red to the 38-year old and sent him off.

This was a much-needed win for the Catalan club as they dropped a lot of points previously in the season. Moreover, now they will be facing Espanyol next in the league on 14th February, before going against Napoli in the Europa League.
