Barcelona won the La Liga match 4-2 against Atletico and it was another chaotic match unlike the scoreline. Barcelona have entertained throughout this season and this game was another addition to the collection.
Diego Simeone’s team was more than happy to attack Barca on the counter
Despite playing Real Madrid in extra time and on penalties, the home squad appeared more focused during the La Liga match. When it came to possession of the ball, Hansi Flick’s team demonstrated their customary domination in the match, but Diego Simeone’s team was more than happy to attack Barca on the counter.
Atletico looked like they had sealed the game when Sorloth slotted in a neat finish into the net at 70th minute after a Julian Alvarez opener at the 45th minute. But after 2 minutes, Lewandowski scored an amazing goal displaying his poaching skills at the front.
Late turnaround at the Wanda Metropolitano
This sparked an opportunity for a late turnaround at the Wanda Metropolitano. In the 78th, Ferran Torres scored from a glancing header into the back of the net making it 2-2. Barcelona looked more threatening with each passing attack and the winner looked inevitable.
Golden Boy Lamine Yamal
The winner came in the 90+2 minute from none other than the Golden Boy Lamine Yamal, who was lucky as his shot got deflected from Renaldo and sent the keeper the wrong way.
Culers scored another goal in the 90+8th minute through Ferran Torres displaying their relentless approach to the game.
The game was dominated by Barca as they had better possession and completed double the passes than Atletico Madrid.
With this win Barca have hijacked the top spot in the La Liga table with superior goal difference from Real Madrid and also have a game in hand.
