Ferran Torres scored twice to help Barcelona find out two goals to beat Atletico Madrid 4-2 and to move Hansi Flick's side back to the top of the LaLala table.
Barcelona is now a level on points with Real Madrid, but I have a competition in hand over their rivals after postponing their competition match last week with Osasuna.
But for the Diego Simeone team, they remain third, but are now four points from the pace, so that a miserable week after their Champions League exit to Los Blancos is closed.
Atletico took the lead on the break after a lightning break, where Giuliano Simeone pulled the ball back for Julian Alvarez to go beyond Wojciech Szczesny.
The hosts doubled their advantage in the 70th minute by replacement Alexander Sorloth, who ended up close after he was selected by Conor Gallagher.
But the joy of Atletico was short-lived, because Robert Lewandowski brilliantly inspected the hopeful ball of Inigo Martinez in the area before sending a left-foot attempt past Jan Oblak to halve the shortage.
Barcelona then turned the game upside down when Torres, as a 67th minute replacement for Dani Olmo, led Flick's his level.
And fresh from his sensational display in Barcelona's Champions League win in Benfica, Lamine Yamal cut in and saw his strike bend and loops over Oblak in the second minute of the second half of the stop time.
Torres then benefited from a bad game from the back by Atletico to seal the victory, to curl the ball in the right -hand corner in the eighth minute of the time.
