MADRID — Atletico Madrid relinquished a two-goal lead in its 4-2 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish league on Sunday in another setback for the club after it was eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League. Playing at the Metropolitano stadium four days after it lost to Madrid in a penalty shootout, Atletico led Barcelona , 2-0, at halftime but conceded a pair of stoppage-time goals to waste a chance to overtake the Catalan club for second place and move within a point of Madrid.
Robert Lewandowski, the league's leading scorer, gave Barcelona hope by finding the net in the 72nd, and Torres equalized with a header after a cross by Raphinha in the 78th. 'We have to congratulate them,' Atletico coach Diego Simeone said. 'There was a bit of luck, which you must have sometimes. We had a few chances in counterattacks but didn't take advantage of them. Barcelona is a great team.
Goals Give Barcelona Victory Vs Atletico
