WHAT HAPPENED? Barca midfielder Pedri went on a fine run into the Atletico box before moving the ball on to team-mate Gavi, who then slotted it into the path of Dembele for a fine finish into the bottom corner.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: It was a classy move from Barca and a well-taken shot by Dembele, who has taken his tally of goals in the Spanish top flight to five from 16 appearances in 2022-23.

WHAT NEXT FOR BARCELONA? After the match in Madrid, Xavi's team will turn their attention to their Supercopa de Espana clash against Real Betis on Thursday.
