Atlético overthrow Barça in injury time and take the lead

Largely dominant in the first half, Hansi Flick's men opened the scoring thanks to Pedri in the 30th minute.

But Atlético, completely harmless before the break with no shots attempted, reacted effectively in the second half. On their second attempt, Rodrygo de Paul equalized on the hour mark with a cross shot from outside the area (1-1, 60th).

A few seconds before the end of six minutes of added time, Alexander Sorloth finished Barcelona's hopes by perfectly taking a cross from Molina, hit by several Catalan legs (90th + 6).

Diego Simeone's men are now the sole leaders, with 41 points, and continue their exceptional series of seven consecutive victories in the league (twelve in all competitions).

They also enjoyed their first success on the pitch at Barcelona since 2006.

Barça has a second consecutive loss at home, after that against promoted Leganés (1-0) last weekend, and continues its poor performances in the league, counting only one victory in the last seven matches, including a setback at home last weekend against Leganés.

With 38 points, he is now under threat from Real Madrid, 3rd (37 pts) with two games less, who can take first place in the event of a victory against Sevilla FC on Sunday.
