Barça

Andres Iniesta has hailed Barcelona's performance in a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid, which ended their poor recent run at the Vicente Calderon, as "sensational". First-half goals from Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique cancelled out an equaliser from Raul Garcia to get the Catalan giants' La Liga campaign back on track following last weekend's shock 2-0 loss at home to Hercules. The result also meant Barça could celebrate victory at Atletico's home ground for the first time since the 2006/07 season, having lost in each of the last three years, 2-1, 4-3 and 4-2. It was a hugely impressive performance by Pep Guardiola's team, and only the goalkeeping of youngster David De Gea kept the scoreline down. Iniesta, who scored the only goal for Spain against the Netherlands in the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ Final, received a standing ovation from the Atletico fans when he was substituted late on. "We had the game under control and Atletico practically didn't have a shot on goal," the 26-year-old midfielder told Barcelona's official website.
