As the curtain fell on Monday night, the highlight of the La Liga was a fierce battle, with Barcelona sweeping Athletic Madrid 3-0 on the road, ending their opponent's myth of 25 consecutive undefeated home matches in the league. In this victory, the one who opened the door for Barcelona was Zulfiaris, who returned as a loanee, and he completed a perfect counterattack against his old boss with a goal in front of the booing of the whole stadium.
Portuguese star Zouo Félix, whose relationship with Atletico broke down last year and who has since moved to Barcelona, had pierced the Atletico goal in the first leg of the encounter, accompanied by provocative celebrations. Prior to the match, some Atletico fans burned Felix's jersey outside the home stadium and continued to verbally abuse the 24-year-old star during the match. However, Félix opened the scoring for Barcelona in the 38th minute to kick off the carnage.
In the second half, Barcelona's Ljundovski continued his heroics, increasing the score to 2-0 in the 47th minute and 3-0 in the 65th minute, and his assisting player, Fermin Lubis, followed up with a goal, helping Barcelona to a 3-0 victory. It's worth noting that coach Xavi was ejected from the game just before half-time for excessive complaints, but he still spoke highly of Félix's performance after the game, "Félix was outstanding, full of determination and motivation, and was a key player in this game."
