Barcelona mounted a stunning comeback from two goals down to defeat Atletico Madrid 4-2 at the Civitas Metropolitano, reclaiming the top spot in La Liga.

Atletico, fueled by frustration over their controversial Champions League exit to Real Madrid, took the lead through Julián Álvarez, who finished off Giuliano Simeone’s assist.

Substitute Alexander Sørloth then doubled the hosts’ advantage, scoring against Barcelona for the third consecutive time this season.

However, Robert Lewandowski quickly pulled one back, reigniting Barcelona’s hopes.

Ferran Torres then equalized with a powerful strike after a surging run into the box.

Atletico’s defense crumbled under pressure in the final minutes, and Lamine Yamal sealed the turnaround with a sensational long-range effort that deflected into the top corner.

Torres added another in stoppage time to complete the comeback.

Barcelona now prepare for a Catalan derby against Girona on March 30, while Atletico travel to Espanyol on March 29.

The two sides will meet again in the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg on April 2, with a spot in the final against either Real Madrid or Real Sociedad on the line.
