Atletico Madrid relinquished a two-goal lead in its 4-2 loss to Barcelona in LaLiga on Sunday in another setback for the club after it was eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Playing at the Metropolitano stadium four days after it lost to Madrid in a penalty shootout, Atletico led Barcelona 2-0 at halftime but conceded a pair of stoppage-time goals to waste a chance to overtake the Catalan club for second place and move within a point of league leader Madrid.
'It was a weird game, we did well in the first half and had the game under control after scoring twice,' Atletico player Marcos Llorente said. 'I do think that the 120 minutes that we had to play in the Champions League made a difference, there was a letdown in the end.'
The defeat left Atletico four points behind its two rivals in the league, with Barcelona having a game in hand. Madrid won 2-1 at Villarreal on Saturday.
Lamine Yamal scored two minutes into stoppage time and Ferran Torres six minutes later to give Barcelona the gritty come-from-behind victory.
'It's a statement win for us, allowing us to regain the lead with a game in hand,' Yamal said.
Barcelona staged a superb turnaround to triumph 4-2 over LaLiga title rivals Atletico Madrid
Lamine Yamal netted Barcelona's vital third goal before the visitors scored again to make it 4-2
It was another crushing blow for Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid side, who suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the Champions League against bitter rivals Real Madrid last time out
Julián Álvarez had put Atletico ahead after a breakaway just before halftime. It had been an unusual double touch by Álvarez in the penalty shootout against Madrid that led to Atletico's elimination from the Champions League on Wednesday.
Atletico added to the lead with a goal by substitute Alexander Sorloth from inside the area in the 70th. Robert Lewandowski, the league's leading scorer, gave Barcelona hope by finding the net in the 72nd, and Torres equalized with a header after a cross by Raphinha in the 78th.
'We have to congratulate them,' Atletico coach Diego Simeone said. 'There was a bit of luck, which you must have sometimes. We had a few chances in counterattacks but didn't take advantage of them. Barcelona is a great team.'
Atletico beat Barcelona 2-1 when the teams met in Barcelona in their first Spanish league match of the season in December. They drew 4-4 in a first-leg match in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey last month. The second leg is in April.
