In Madrid, the headline match of the 28th round of the Spanish La Liga took place. Atletico hosted Barcelona in one of the most crucial matches in the title race.
Julian Alvarez opened the scoring with a precise strike at the end of the first half. The Argentine finished off a brilliant combination involving Griezmann and Giuliano Simeone.
In their attempts to equalize, the Catalans faltered in defense, allowing Sorloth to double his team's advantage. In the very next attack, the visitors pulled one back: Lewandowski showcased his individual skill, scoring his 22nd goal of the current La Liga season. A few minutes later, Ferran Torres leveled the score after a precise pass from Raphinha, and Yamal secured the win for the visitors with a deflected shot in stoppage time. Torres sealed the match in the 90+7th minute – 2:4.
