Bacelona Beat Almeria To Get Back In Tittle Race
- Updated: March 3, 2014
Barcelona recorded an emphatic 4-1 victory over Almeria to close to within a point of Primera Division leaders Real at the Nou Camp Sunday.
After Real and city rivals Atletico Madrid had played out a 2-2 draw earlier in the day, Sunday’s late contest afforded Barcelona the chance to get right back in the title mix after their costly defeat at Real Sociedad last weekend.
Alexis Sanchez set the hosts on their way in the 10th minute before a superb Lionel Messi free-kick made it 2-0 inside 25 minutes.
A moment’s sloppiness in the Barca backline allowed Angel Trujillo to pull one back for Almeria and at 2-1 Barca endured more than one or two nervy moments as the visitors probed for a leveller.
It took until the 83rd minute for Barcelona to finally put the contest to bed, Carles Puyol following up with a smart finish after Messi’s header had come back off the bar, while there was still time for Xavi to curl home from 20 yards.
