On Saturday, four matches of the 17th round of the Spanish "La Liga" championship were played.
In the latest victory in the country's championship, "Barcelona" celebrated with a 2-0 win over Vigo's "Celta" players, who conceded five goals last season at the "Camp Nou" stadium.
The Catalonians were led to victory by the attacking duo - in the 10th minute, Ousmane Dembele put the hosts ahead, and Lionel Messi secured the victory at the end of the first half.
In another match, Madrid's "Atletico" achieved a difficult but very important victory at home. "Rojiblancos" defeated Barcelona's "Espanyol" resistance thanks to Antoine Griezmann's goal.
