Barcelona’s Dani Olmo scored twice in his comeback from injury, helping his team secure a 3-1 victory over Espanyol and extend their lead at the top of La Liga. Olmo, making his first start since mid-September, delivered an electrifying first-half performance alongside Raphinha, whose goal gave Barca a 3-0 lead by the 31st minute. Espanyol’s Javi Puado managed a consolation goal amid multiple disallowed strikes, as Barcelona maintained dominance under new manager Hansi Flick.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid climbed to third with a 2-0 win over Las Palmas. Giuliano Simeone, son of coach Diego Simeone, scored his first goal for the club, dedicating it to flood victims in Valencia.
