Julian Alvarez gave the Diego Simeone-coached team the first two goals at the conclusion of the first half, and Alexander Sorloth added another 20 minutes into the second half.
In less than 10 minutes, Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres gave Hansi Flick’s team two goals before Lamine Yamal’s incredible goal at the start of stoppage time.
Ferran scored his second goal of the evening in Madrid just before the final whistle, and the match ended 4-2 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
Atletico lost a crucial game that could have changed how the season ended for them and Simeone’s squad is currently four points behind the two opponents while Barcelona has more games left than the others.
With the third goal, Yamal once again demonstrated why he is regarded as one of the greatest soccer players in the world, reports CBS Sports.
This season, he has scored 12 goals and provided 17 assists, while Brazilian winger Raphinha has already scored 27 goals across all competitions and recorded his 21st assist of the year.
FC Barcelona might be the clear favorite in La Liga after this victory.
