FC Barcelona extended their lead at the top of the La Liga table to four points after they defeated Atletico Madrid 3-1 at the Spotify Camp Nou on Tuesday night. Despite going behind early in the game, the Blaugrana fought back and dominated throughout on their way to a critical victory, riding on goals from Raphinha, Dani Olmo, and Ferran Torres.
Long before he arrived at Man City, Guardiola famously came through the ranks at Camp Nou, winning the Champions League as both a player and manager with the Blaugrana in 15 years over two spells at the club. The 54-year-old has seldom looked to Barcelona for new signings but that might be about to change with the blockbuster addition of Alejandro Balde in January.
