With this victory, Barcelona’s tally rose to 60 points, level with Real Madrid, with the Catalans having the better goal difference, and with a game in hand against Osasuna.
This defeat dented Atletico’s hopes of winning the La Liga title, leaving them with 56 points, four points behind the top two.
Barcelona and Atletico will meet again at the Wanda Metropolitano next month in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals. The first leg ended in a 4-4 draw in Catalonia.
