Barcelona Suffers Third Consecutive Home Defeat in La Liga

Barcelona faced another setback as they lost 2-1 to Atletico Madrid in the 18th round of La Liga. The decisive goal came in the final minutes of added time, scored by Alexander Sørloth for the Madrid club.

This defeat marks the third consecutive home loss for the Catalan giants in the Spanish championship. On November 30th, they fell to Las Palmas (2-1), and on December 15th, they were defeated by Leganes (1-0).

Hans Flick’s team currently holds the second position in the league table with 38 points. Real Madrid trails by just one point but has two games in hand, potentially putting more pressure on Barcelona’s position.
