Barcelona Wins and Approaches the Spanish Soccer League Title

Barcelona defeated Valladolid 2-1 and settled at the top of the Spanish soccer league, seven points ahead of Real Madrid.

With a team full of substitutes and their sights set on next Tuesday's Champions League match against Inter Milan, the azulgrana team went behind in the 6th minute.

At that moment, Ivan Sanchez put the home team in the lead and filled the whole Barcelona team with nerves.

As soon as the second half got underway, German coach Hansi Flick sent all his heavyweights into the arena and the game took the course predicted by the pundits.

Just a few minutes after entering the field, in the 54th minute, Brazilian Raphinha scored the equalizer and a few moments later, in the 60th minute, Fermín López scored the goal that ultimately gave Barcelona the three golden points.

After this result, the Culés reached 79 points in the standings, seven ahead of Madrid.
