Despite conceding after just 43 seconds, they levelled through Lamine Yamal before Dani Olmo scored twice to extend their unbeaten league run against Alaves to 16 matches. The result pushed them above Real Madrid, who later dropped points against Girona.
With Madrid set to face Athletic on Wednesday, Barcelona can move four points clear by beating Atletico on Tuesday. Having scored a league-best 39 goals, they will feel confident against one of La Liga’s strongest defences.
Atlético, meanwhile, seemed unlikely title challengers after beginning the season with just three wins from eight league games. Since then, they have won six straight in La Liga and seven in all competitions following their 4-0 Champions League defeat to Arsenal. Last Wednesday, they secured a late 2-1 win over Inter Milan, then beat Real Oviedo 2-0 at the Metropolitano thanks to an Alexander Sorloth brace. The victory brought Simeone level with Miguel Muñoz on 323 league wins.
Simeone now aims for his 324th in Tuesday’s trip to Barcelona, a fixture moved forward because of the Spanish Super Cup. Atlético also hope to claim back-to-back away league wins at Barcelona after Sorloth netted a 96th-minute winner in their last visit in December 2024.
