But while Arsenal did well by recording a narrow 1-0 win over Leeds United, Barcelona fell to a 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid.
Goals from Karim Benzema, Federico Valverde and Rodrygo saw the Blancos coast to a comfortable victory at him, with Ferran Torres getting Barcelona’s consolation.
Before Sunday’s Clasico, the Blaugrana announced that they will wear an owl logo – used by Drake’s record label, OVO Sound – for the game against Real Madrid.
