Another deadly Atleti counter attack in the 70th minute saw Connor Gallagher supply Alexander Sørloth, who scored against Barça for a sixth straight game. Barcelona players were livid, calling for a handball in the lead up to Atleti's second.

Before the celebrations could end, Lewandowski pulled one back for the Catalans with a wonderful strike for his La Liga leading 22nd goal of the season. In the 77th minute, Barcelona found the equalizer after Raphinha fired a brilliant cross that Ferran Torres perfectly flicked past Jan Oblak.

Back in December, Atléti scored a stoppage time winner in the reverse fixture. Today, Barcelona returned the favor, as Lamine Yamal fired a shot from distance that deflected off a defender into the back of the net to complete the comeback. Torres then clinched the victory with his brace in what was the final kick of the game.

In a crucial match in the title race going into the international break, Barcelona now go four points clear of Atlético Madrid atop the standings, tied on points with Real Madrid but with a better goal difference and a game in hand.
