Barcelona outclasses Atletico to move into second

Soccer Betting Lines

10/07/2007 - Barcelona, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Barcelona moved into second place in the La Liga standings on Sunday with a comfortable 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid at the Nou Camp.

Leo Messi once again put on a dazzling performance as he scored a goal and helped to set up one for Barca, which is now only two points behind league- leaders Real Madrid.

Messi created the first chance in the 16th minute when he got a ball on the right wing, beat a defender and drove a low cross into the box. The ball was hit too close to keeper Christian Abbiati, but he spilled it inside the six- yard box and Deco was on hand to tap it across the goal line.

Four minutes later Messi and Ronaldinho combined on a brilliant 1-2 to set up Messi's league-leading sixth goal of the year.

After taking the ball on the left, Messi slipped a pass to Ronaldinho inside the box. The Brazilian then played the ball quickly back to Messi, who drove a shot into the lower right corner past the keeper.

Barca nearly went up three goals before halftime when Messi drove the ball through the face of goal for Deco, who got a slight touch to it, setting up a shot for Ronaldinho. He had an open look at the net, but dragged his shot wide from just eight yards.

Deco had a pair of opportunities after halftime to extend the lead, but he sent a hard left-footed shot inches over the crossbar from the top of the box. Later in the half, Deco got into the box on the right and had his shot towards the far post knocked away by a diving stop.

Xavi had an outstanding volley blocked away and Messi had a shot deflected off the post before Xavi put the game away in the 90th minute.

In other La Liga action on Sunday, Real Madrid scored twice in the second half to beat Recreativo, Athletic Bilbao split the points with Almeria in a 1-1 game, and Deportivo downed Sevilla 1-0 on a goal from Ivan Riki. Juan Arango scored twice as Mallorca beat Getafe 4-2, Murcia and Real Betis finished 0-0, Osasuna got past Villarreal 3-2, Real Zaragoza blanked Levante 3-0 and Racing Santander topped Valladolid 2-0.
