Fermin Lopez netted two goals as Barcelona staged a dramatic comeback, beating Atletico Madrid and solidifying their lead at the top of La Liga. Real Madrid had drawn with Barcelona on 30 points earlier in the weekend, but the result at the Metropolitano Stadium will give the Catalans a three-point advantage heading into the international break.
Lopez opened the scoring for Barcelona in the 10th minute with a goal converted by Giuliano Simeone. After a brief moment of silence to remember Jesus de Miguel, who passed away after a serious injury in a Spanish Second Division match, Barcelona equalized just before halftime when Lopez curled home a free kick. Despite Atletico's efforts, they were unable to find an equalizer and now sit in third place, five points behind Barcelona.
