Barcelona needs late goal to beat last-place Almeria 3-2 in Spanish league and end winless streak

Associated Press  

MADRID — It was yet another lackluster performance by Barcelona, drawing jeers from the home fans upset with the team’s struggles against the only winless team in the Spanish league so far. Some of the jeers came even after Barcelona found a way to beat last-place Almeria 3-2 on Wednesday, a much-needed hard-fought victory that ended a three-game winless streak and moved the Catalan club back to third place. Hopefully we will begin next year with the right foot.” Roberto scored twice and Raphinha once for Barcelona, which moved three points ahead of fourth-place Atletico Madrid. Barcelona has won all of its eight home matches against Almeria in the league, but had lost its last game against the southern Spanish club in February.
