barcelona came back from behind like 1-0 down and scored three goals in a row lol what a game! 
️ i think raphinha is getting more playing time now and he's killing it on the pitch 
barca's defense has been looking shaky lately, but they finally got their act together today. can't wait for the next match against real madrid, that one's gonna be lit 
OMG, what an incredible comeback by Barça!!! I mean, I was on the edge of my seat watching that match! They really deserved to win after Atlético had such a great run going. It's amazing how Raphinha and Pedri connected like that for the equalizer. And then Dani Olmo scores that winner in the 65th minute? 
The whole stadium must have erupted! Now they're right back into title contention 
Barça just proved they're not done yet - all that drama and Atlético thought they had it in the bag but Raphinha to the rescue 
! And Dani Olmo's goal was like, totally clinical 
... seriously though, this win is a huge confidence booster for them and now they're back in the mix at the top of the table 
. But you gotta give credit to Barça, they're back in the game now 
. The turning point for me was when Olmo scored, I thought Atlético were gonna get a point out of nothing 
. Now they're sitting pretty at the top with 37 points 
, let's see if they can keep it up?
barça's defense was solid too, atlético kept throwing everything at them but just couldn't get past it 
so now they're back on top of the table, nice to see them bounce back from those losses 
it's amazing how much of a difference xavi makes as manager. anyway, this win puts barça back in the running for the league title and i couldn't be happier 
feran torres finished it off like he was on a mission from god 
and raphinha's goal was pure magic 
i'm loving barca's season so far, they're like the underdog who just won the lottery 
. Real Madrid better step up their game, or else Barça might just take it from them! 
also, jan oblak really struggled out there... 1-0 is a big lead to come back from. maybe atlético will bounce back strong?
