Barcelona did what champions do, they found a way. A gritty 1-0 win at fortress San Mamés restores their four-point lead at the top. Lamine Yamal's second-half strike, was the difference between the sides. Atletico Madrid served up Friday night fireworks, edging Real Sociedad 3-2 in a thriller at the Metropolitano.
