Atlético Madrid Stuns Barcelona with Last-Minute Victory to Lead La Liga

Alexander Sørloth's stoppage-time goal secures a dramatic 2-1 comeback win, ending Atlético's 18-year away drought against Barcelona.

Atlético Madrid's 2-1 win over Barcelona marks their 12th consecutive victory across all competitions, placing them three points clear at the top of La Liga with a game in hand.
Pedri gave Barcelona the lead in the first half after a well-executed one-two with Gavi, but the team failed to capitalize on several additional chances, including a Raphinha shot that hit the crossbar.
Rodrigo De Paul equalized in the 60th minute, capitalizing on a poor clearance by Barcelona's Marc Casadó to slot a low shot into the bottom corner.
Jan Oblak made several crucial saves throughout the match, denying Barcelona multiple opportunities to retake the lead before Sørloth's decisive stoppage-time goal from Nahuel Molina's cross.
This defeat extends Barcelona's struggles, with only one win in their last seven league games and their first three-game home losing streak in La Liga since 1987.
