Atlético de Madrid achieved their first La Liga victory in Barcelona since 2006 in incredible style.
The Red and Whites ended their 18-year wait for an away league victory against their fierce rivals when substitute Alexander Sorloth scored a dramatic decisive goal in the 96th minute.
It looked like the match would end in a tight draw, which would have given Real Madrid the title lead, but the visitors had the final say.
A calm finish from Pedri put Barcelona ahead in the 30th minute and gave Barcelona a deserved lead in front of the home fans.
However, when Barcelona wasted chances after the restart, Rodrigo De Paul calmly headed home to level the match, on the hour mark.
The match still looked to be going in Barcelona’s favor, as Jan Oblak made a series of key saves, before Sorloth’s final act sent the small group of traveling fans (and Diego Simeone) into a frenzy at the final whistle.
Atlético are now three points clear of Barcelona, with 18 games played compared to 19, but Real Madrid can reduce the gap to one point if they beat Sevilla in the 2024 final tomorrow.
