The Sunday night match between the top two in the league was a thriller, as many people expected it to be but was an easy win for Barcelona. The home side were prone to several burst outs by way side and eventually Falcao opened the scoring for Madrid in the 30th minute and once again proved his worth as one of the best strikers in the world.
Barcelona responded just five minutes later when Adriano cut out a long range strike from the right hand side to make the sides level on goals. Barcelona managed to keep up the momentum with Sergio Busquets scoring the second with minutes from the end of first half.
La Liga, 16th Dec 2012
Barcelona 4 Adriano 35, Busquets 45+1, Messi 51, 87
Atletico Madrid 1 Falcao 30
Then it was all Messi adding to his record of most goals in a calender year with his 89th and 90th netting past the Atletico goal. Barcelona are now nine points clear at the top of the La Liga table.
