La Liga Advertisement live Updated 1m ago Barcelona have come from behind to beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 in their La Liga match at Camp Nou. Alex Baena's breakaway goal for the visitors, originally ruled offside but given by VAR, opened the scoring in the 19th minute. Barcelona responded quickly, equalising through Raphinha after a beautiful assist from Pedri. Robert Lewandowski had an opportunity to give the hosts the lead from the spot before half-time, but skied his penalty well over the bar. But the hosts wouldn't be kept down, taking the lead midway through the second half on Dani Olmo's strike. Ferran Torres clinched the win with Barcelona's third goal, finishing from close range in second-half stoppage time. The result moves Barca four points ahead of Real Madrid at the top of the table, with Atletico Madrid a further two points behind in fourth place.

A comprehensive win over their title rivals. 90+5’ Barcelona 3-1 Atletico Madrid Finally, someone shows us how to take a chance in this second half. Marcus Rashford has played a big role in the match since being introduced, it was a lovely centred ball from Alejandro Balde and the finish from Ferran Torres was excellent. The Spaniard missed a huge early chance against Chelsea in the Champions League last week, but he was never squandering that one — that'll be enough for the win for Barca. 90+5’ Barcelona 3-1 Atletico Madrid What a lovely finish. Rashford, who has been lively since coming on, links up with Balde, who in turn sends a cross in to Ferran. He takes a touch to sort of chip it into his own path and then volleys it past Oblak. Quality from start to finish. 90+5’ Barcelona 3-1 Atletico Madrid And that is it, surely! What a goal from Ferran Torres and what a night for Barcelona. 90+5’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid Diego Simeone is going to wonder how his players aren't leaving Camp Nou this evening without a share of the points. They were played almost off the park in the first half, but they have battled well since half-time and have done more than enough to equalise. That is three big chances now that they have missed in this second half, the latest from former Barca forward Antoine Griezmann. How he would have loved to score that one. .. 90+3’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid But he pulls it wide from a brilliant angle after some great build-up play. That might have been the moment for Atletico, who then immediately have to go on the defensive as Barca find Rashford on the counter and he draws a save from Oblak. 90’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid Plenty of time for another goal here if someone wants to be a hero! 89’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid The issue with Atletico starting so deep in these games is that it is so hard to get going at the attacking end of the pitch when they are chasing the game. They have been a lot better in this second half than they were in the first — and Thiago Almada probably should have made it 2-2 — but it still feels as though they play too negatively for how good their team is. 87’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid And Christensen is on in his place. Is Hansi Flick aiming to defend Barcelona’s lead for the final minutes of the game rather than push for a third? 84’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid These two sides are the only La Liga teams to have scored in every league match this season and that has continued tonight. Can Atletico find an equaliser? 81’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid I don't know how Barcelona fans cope watching this high line every week! Atletico have been finding joy in behind the Barcelona defence all night and it was Thiago Almada who had the chance to level the game. He did so well to evade the clutches of the defenders around him but gradually began to lose his balance. Having finally opened up a yard of space for the shot, he couldn't find his feet properly and stabbed his effort wide. That's a real let-off for Barca and another bad miss in this second half for the visitors. 79’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid That looked like it was going in! Almada makes a wonderfully timed run in behind, skips past three players and has the goal at his mercy but cannot sort his feet out in time to wrap his foot around the ball and stroke it into an empty net. Hands on head moment. 75’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid He is a player well known to the Barcelona fans — Antoine Griezmann is on, stunning mullet blowing behind him in the wind, for Koke. 73’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid Raphinha and Pedri come off to a standing ovation from the home supporters, replaced by Marc Casado and teenager Tomas Marques. 72’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid He hasn't quite been at his dazzling best tonight, but Lamine Yamal has still looked a threat for Barcelona. He'll want that finish back, though. It was a terrible pass from Jose Maria Gimenez and the young Barca winger probably snatched at his chance a little. He was looking to bend it into the top left corner, but didn't get the required curl on his effort. Jan Oblak, with all his experience, was happy to just watch it drift past his far post. 69’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid That was nearly a third! A wayward pass at the back allows Lamine Yamal in and he tries curling a shot into the far corner but cannot get the necessary whip on it. Atleti are living dangerously. 68’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid Dani Olmo gets Barcelona's second! Outstanding team effort, nice and long possession which ends up with Lewandowski and Olmo combining by the edge of the box. Excellent ball control by the Spain international, who finishes past Jan Oblak to put the Catalans 2-1 ahead. Just over 20 minutes to go at the Camp Nou. 67’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid No one watching this game will be surprised to see how Atletico Madrid have played. They are parking players behind the ball in a bid to frustrate Barcelona, but they haven't looked anywhere near defensively solid enough to keep them out. Another superb slide-rule pass from Pedri in the build-up and a really nice finish from Dani Olmo on his weaker left foot from the edge of the box. It's a shame to see him hurt after giving Barca the lead — he landed awkwardly on his left shoulder and I imagine there will be some worry that he has dislocated it. 66’ Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid On come Rashford and Ferran Torres for Olmo, who was in some discomfort, and Lewandowski.
