Lamine Yamal couldn’t hide his delight at scoring as [Barcelona beat Atletico 4-2 in a thrilling game in La Liga on Sunday](https://www.barcablaugranes.com/2025/3/16/24385662/atletico-madrid-barcelona-la-liga-final-score-match-report-recap-reactions).
Barca looked to be heading for defeat after going 2-0 down but Barca hit back through Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres to level the game.
Yamal then made it 3-2 with a lovely goal, before Ferran struck again to completely finish off Atletico.
Here’s what Yamal made of it all:
> “I’m very happy with the victory. It was a very important game. We celebrated in the locker room, enjoying ourselves together. Very happy,” he told reporters.
>
> “I think it was some anger because we were playing well but we were down. Robert’s goal was very important. So was Ferran’s and then we scored the third one.
>
> “I knew that if I score, it would be in important matches. In the end I don’t care much about not scoring in some matches, as long as the team is winning. Today we needed this goal. I scored the third goal, and I think it was a very important goal.
>
> “Beating Atlético today is a real blow. It means regaining the lead with one game in hand.”
The win means Barca head into the international break on top of the table and with a game in hand on rivals Real Madrid and Atletico.
