Barcelona dominated possession in the opening half but struggled to break down Atletico’s disciplined defense
Barcelona pulled off a stunning comeback in Madrid, overturning a two-goal deficit to defeat Atletico Madrid 4-2 in a crucial La Liga clash on Sunday. Goals from Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, and a late strike from Lamine Yamal sealed a dramatic victory, sending Hansi Flick’s side to the top of the table heading into the international break. Barcelona dominated possession in the opening half but struggled to break down Atletico’s disciplined defense. Lamine Yamal came close to an early opener in the 5th minute, his left-footed shot narrowly missing Jan Oblak’s post.
Robert Lewandowski also struck the woodwork before halftime after a clever pass from Pedri, but his effort clipped the crossbar. Despite Barcelona’s control, Atlético took the lead just before the break. A long kick from Oblak was headed on, and Giuliano Simeone found Julian Alvarez, who fired past Wojciech Szczesny to put the hosts ahead. The second half began with Yamal missing another good opportunity before Atlético doubled their lead. Antoine Griezmann played a smart pass across the box for Alexander Sørloth, who slotted home to make it 2-0.
Hansi Flick responded with substitutions, bringing on Ferran Torres and Eric García. The changes had an immediate impact. Lewandowski reignited Barca’s hopes, drilling a low shot past Oblak to pull one back. Just five minutes later, Raphinha delivered a precise cross, and Torres guided a brilliant header into the net to level the score at 2-2. As the match seemed destined for a draw, Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal delivered the moment of magic.
Deep into stoppage time, Yamal struck from the edge of the area, his shot taking a deflection off Reinildo before beating Oblak—sending Barca into wild celebrations. Minutes later, Torres added his second goal, sealing a remarkable 4-2 victory and completing one of Barcelona’s most thrilling comebacks in recent memory. With this dramatic win, Barcelona not only silenced the Madrid crowd but also reclaimed the top spot in La Liga. Flick’s side now heads into the international break with momentum, while Atletico will be left wondering how they let a two-goal lead slip away.
