Barcelona (B2B) - Barcelona memperpendek selisih dari pemimpin klasemen Divisi Primera atau La Liga, Real Madrid menjadi satu poin setelah menang besar 4-1 dari Almeria di Nou Camp.
Setelah Real dan musuh sekota Atletico Madrid seri 2-2 beberapa saat sebelumnya, Barcelona bangkit setelah kalah menyakitkan dari Real Sociedad akhir pekan lalu
Alexis Sanchez membawa tuan rumah unggul awal pada menit 10 sebelum tendangan bebas menawan dari Lionel Messi menggandakan keunggulan menjadi 2-0 pada menit 25.
Lalu, kecerobohan di barisan belakang Barca membuat Angel Trujillo memperkecil ketertinggalan Almeria menjadi 2-1 dari Barca.
Barca baru menambah gol lagi pada menit 83 dari Carles Puyol, sedangkan Xavi menciptakan gol keempat pada menit 89, demikian espn.com.
Barcelona - Barcelona closed to within a point of Primera Division leaders Real Madrid after an emphatic, if not always totally convincing, 4-1 victory over Almeria at the Nou Camp.
After Real and city rivals Atletico Madrid had played out a 2-2 draw earlier in the day, Sunday´s late contest afforded Barcelona the chance to get right back in the title mix after their costly defeat at Real Sociedad last weekend.
Alexis Sanchez set the hosts on their way in the 10th minute before a superb Lionel Messi free-kick made it 2-0 inside 25 minutes.
A moment´s sloppiness in the Barca backline allowed Angel Trujillo to pull one back for Almeria and at 2-1 Barca endured more than one or two nervy moments as the visitors probed for a leveller.
It took until the 83rd minute for Barcelona to finally put the contest to bed, Carles Puyol following up with a smart finish after Messi´s header had come back off the bar, while there was still time for Xavi to inflate the scoreline further with a sumptuous fourth.
