Barça continue to show that they have a never say die attitude. The comeback victory against Atlético Madrid just before the November international break was their fourth such win in the 2026/27 season so far. 

The win in Madrid allows the blaugranes to continue as league leaders with a three point advantage over nearest rivals Real Madrid. The victory over Diego Simeone's team was also a 23rd comeback win for Hansi Flick as Barça coach. 

Three in a row in the Metropolitano

Fermín's brace of goals handed the blaugranes a third comeback win at the Metropolitano in the league. In 2024/25 Barça found themselves 2-0 down with just 20 minutes remaining. However, in a magical spell of football, Flick's men scored four times to take a valuable victory on their way to the league title.

HIGHLIGHTS | Atlético Madrid v Barça

Last season goals from Marcus Rashford and Robert Lewandowski gave Barça a 2-1 comeback win after Giuliano Simeone had put Atlético in front. This season the same played put the Madrid side ahead only for Fermín to intervene and guarantee all three points for the blaugranes. 

Four this season 

Compared with teams in Europe's top five leagues, only Internazionale in Italy have produced more comebacks this season in the league with four. Barça are in second place on three alongside fellow La Liga club Racing Santander. 

The message is clear, if Barça fall behind it is not over; Sunday in the Metropolitano being just the latest example.
