Atlético Madrid's comeback was sealed in the 96th minute when substitutes Nahuel Molina and Alexander Sørloth combined to score the winning goal. This victory marks a significant shift in the LaLiga standings, as Atlético Madrid now leads the table heading into the winter break.
Just a few weeks ago, Barcelona had a 10-point lead over Atlético Madrid, but now the tables have turned, with Atlético Madrid sitting three points ahead of Barcelona, having played one fewer game. This win is part of Atlético Madrid's impressive run, with 12 consecutive wins in all competitions.
Diego Simeone's tactical adjustments, including the introduction of substitutes, have been pivotal in Atlético's success. Sørloth, in particular, has been instrumental, scoring eight goals in LaLiga this season, with five of those coming as a substitute and four in the 83rd minute or later.
