Stats: Barcelona shatter Atletico Madrid’s historic run | OneFootball

Hansi Flick’s Barcelona had to overcome a historic challenge to secure a 4-2 victory over Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid, a side that had previously remained unbeaten against the German coach.

The win not only solidified Barça’s position at the top of LaLiga but also shattered long-standing records that had defined Simeone’s tenure at the Madrid club.

The match at the Metropolitano seemed to be slipping away from Barcelona, especially after a frustrating first half where they struck the woodwork twice but failed to find the net.

By the 70th minute, Atletico Madrid had taken a commanding 2-0 lead, putting immense pressure on Flick’s men. At that moment, Barcelona needed something special to turn the game around—and they delivered in remarkable fashion.

What followed was a display of sheer resilience and attacking brilliance. Robert Lewandowski led the charge, followed by Ferran Torres, who struck twice, and Lamine Yamal, who sealed the victory.

This incredible turnaround not only ensured three crucial points but also sent a strong message about the team’s fighting spirit under Flick.

The significance of this victory goes beyond just the scoreline. According to SPORT, Barcelona became the first team to ever come back from a two-goal deficit against Simeone’s Atletico Madrid in the Argentine’s 662-game coaching career.

Before this match, no team had managed to overturn such an advantage against his well-drilled defensive setup.

Moreover, Atletico had not lost a game in which they led by two goals since November 2007, when Villarreal pulled off a similar comeback.

Flick’s side broke an 18-year-old record, further proving that this Barcelona team is built to compete at the highest level.

With La Liga still in their hands and the Spanish Super Cup already secured, Barcelona continue to push forward in all major competitions.

This result serves as a testament to their determination and ability to overcome even the toughest of challenges.
