Olmo's Mixed Emotions as Barcelona Rally to 3-1 Win Over Atletico Madrid
3 December 2025
Match Highlights
Spanish midfielder Dani Olmo, Barcelona's star, endured mixed emotions during tonight's La Liga clash with Atletico Madrid.
Olmo struck in the 65th minute, turning the game in Barca's favor after they had trailed early, equalized, and then surged ahead.
In the same moment, Olmo sustained a shoulder injury while firing towards Jan Oblak, Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper.
He could not finish the match and left the field after the medical staff intervened, with Ferran Torres taking his place.
Remarkably, Robert Lewandowski, Barca's striker, had missed a penalty before half-time, leaving the score level at 1-1.
Barca stretched their La Liga winning streak to four in a row with a 3-1 victory over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday at the Camp Nou, in front of the Blaugrana faithful.
Barca's goals came from Rafinha, Olmo, and Ferran Torres in the 26th, 65th, and 90+6th minutes, while Atletico Madrid's lone scorer was Alejandro Baena in the 19th minute.
Punchline 1: Olmo's shoulder might take the hit, but his legend at Camp Nou keeps rising—Barcelona loves a good cliffhanger.
Punchline 2: If football were a service industry, the medical staff would win MVP for halftime interventions and encore performances from the bench.
