Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of FC Barcelona 3-1 Atlético Madrid in the La Liga on Tuesday, 02 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.
FC Barcelona defeated Atlético Madrid 3-1 in La Liga. Atlético took an early lead when Álex Baena scored in the 19th minute, but Barcelona equalised through Raphinha in the 26th minute, assisted by Pedri. A missed penalty from Robert Lewandowski in the 36th minute kept the score level at half-time, despite Barcelona’s growing pressure.
In the second half, Dani Olmo put Barcelona ahead in the 65th minute, prompting substitutions that saw Marcus Rashford replace Olmo and Ferran Torres come on for Lewandowski shortly after. Atlético pushed for an equaliser but could not break through, and Ferran Torres sealed the win with a goal in the 90+6th minute, assisted by Alejandro Balde. This result extends Barcelona’s strong recent form with five straight league wins, while Atlético’s run of four victories came to an end.
Barcelona controlled 58% of possession, which helped them dominate with 66 successful dribbles compared to Atlético’s 33, showing their edge in individual battles and transitions. Both sides earned a similar number of corners, with Barcelona at five and Atlético at four, but Barcelona’s two assists underlined their sharper attacking play against Atlético’s one. Each team received one yellow card and used all five substitutions, with Barcelona taking and missing one penalty, reflecting a game where Barcelona’s midfield control created more opportunities without leading to excessive fouls or reds.
The substitutions highlighted tactical adjustments, such as Atlético bringing on Koke for Johnny Cardoso early at 14 minutes and later Conor Gallagher for Nico González at 46 minutes, while Barcelona refreshed their attack with Ferran Torres replacing Robert Lewandowski at 67 minutes and others like Marcus Rashford for Dani Olmo at 66 minutes.
The match turned on key goals and a missed opportunity, starting with Álex Baena’s 19th-minute strike for Atlético, assisted by Nahuel Molina and confirmed by VAR shortly after. Barcelona responded quickly with Raphinha’s equaliser at 26 minutes, but Lewandowski’s missed penalty in the 36th minute kept the game tight. Yellow cards went to Gerard Martín for Barcelona in the 45+2nd minute and Baena for Atlético at 41 minutes, adding tension without escalating to reds.
Substitutions played a role in shifting momentum, with Atlético replacing the injured Johnny Cardoso with Koke at 14 minutes and later introducing Alexander Sørloth for Giuliano Simeone at 63 minutes. Barcelona’s changes proved decisive, as Dani Olmo scored at 65 minutes before being replaced by Marcus Rashford a minute later, and Ferran Torres, who came on for Lewandowski at 67 minutes, netted the late winner at 90+6 minutes to secure the points.
FC Barcelona lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Pedri pulling strings in midfield through assists like the one for Raphinha’s goal and Lamine Yamal offering width before his late substitution for Andreas Christensen. Dani Olmo operated effectively in the attacking midfield role, scoring before making way for Marcus Rashford, while Robert Lewandowski led the line until Ferran Torres replaced him to add fresh energy up front.
Atlético Madrid set up in a 4-2-3-1 shape, relying on Álex Baena’s creativity for their goal before Thiago Almada came on as his substitute, and Nahuel Molina provided the assist from the right. Early changes saw Koke replace Johnny Cardoso in midfield, with Conor Gallagher later taking over from Nico González to bolster the centre, while Alexander Sørloth entered for Giuliano Simeone to enhance their forward threat.
Bwin’s Man of the Match was Raphinha, who stood out with his goal in the 26th minute and three key passes that helped drive Barcelona’s attacks. Although he created no big chances and recorded no assists, his overall contribution in breaking down Atlético’s defence was pivotal. Raphinha played a key role before being replaced by Pedro Fernández at 74 minutes.
