Barcelona achieved a difficult victory over Atletico Madrid yesterday, Sunday, 1-0, in the match that was held between them at Montjuïc Stadium in the 15th round of the Spanish League.
Joao Felix scored the winning goal in the 28th minute, but he was not the only hero of the strong clash that ended with Barcelona’s score rising to 34 points, placing them third in the La Liga standings behind Real Madrid and Girona.
There was another hero of the match, the Spanish goalkeeper Iñaki Peña, who saved Barcelona on several occasions with wonderful saves, most notably Memphis Depay’s free kick and a powerful shot from inside the penalty area seconds before the end of the match.
Barcelona’s official account on X published a video documenting the moment Iñaki Peña entered the locker room after the match, amid warm applause from his teammates.
The man of the hour, Iñaki Peña! 👏👏👏 pic.twitter.com/Fd0ROGH2Iw
