Commentaries
Barcelona secure the three points with a 3-2 victory after a thrilling encounter against Almeria. Xavi's side opened the scoring through Raphinha in the first half, but they were pegged back when Leo Baptistao calmly finished to level the scoring. After the break, the home side dominated the possession and were constantly testing Maximiano between the sticks, before they eventually took the lead once again through Roberto from a corner. However, Almeria equaliser shortly after as Gonzalez pounced in the box after a mix-up in defence to fire in their second. Barcelona kept pushing and found a winner late on as Roberto grabbed his second goal of the game. Garitano’s men are still winless in La Liga, but they certainly gave it a good effort in today's match, and they'll be looking to find their first victory next time out against Osasuna. Xavi's men will travel to Las Palmas after the new year as they hope to gain ground on Girona at the top of the table. That's all for today, goodbye!
