The result keeps Barcelona at the top of the Spanish league table. detikSport reports that they have 33 points from 12 matches, while Atletico sit third on 28.
Why it matters
The two clubs went into the fixture contesting the top of the table, and the outcome leaves Barcelona five points clear of their hosts. For Atletico, the defeat means a home match against the leaders produced no ground gained in the title race. For Barcelona, it is a win earned after conceding first, away from home, against one of the strongest sides in the division.
The match also underlined the growing influence of two young players. Fermin supplied the finishing, while Lamine Yamal set up the winning goal and was involved in Barcelona's most dangerous attacks throughout.
Atletico strike first, Barcelona answer before the break
Atletico took the lead in the 10th minute. A move down the pitch ended with Julian Alvarez playing a pass from the left side, and Giuliano Simeone met it in front of goal to finish. detikSport describes the goal as the product of a sustained Atletico attack, with Alvarez providing the final ball.
Barcelona looked for a reply through Yamal, who carried the ball past several Atletico defenders inside the penalty area before getting a shot away. Jan Oblak was able to deal with it.
At the other end, Alvarez had a chance of his own. He received the ball inside the box and struck a low shot, but despite having room to aim, he could not beat Joan Garcia in the Barcelona goal.
The equaliser arrived in first-half stoppage time. Fermin hit a powerful shot from inside the penalty area that travelled quickly past Oblak, sending the teams into the interval level at 1-1.
Yamal sets up the winner
Fermin completed the turnaround in the 66th minute. Yamal threaded a pass through the Atletico defence and Fermin converted it to put Barcelona ahead. detikSport reports that Atletico tried to respond during the remaining minutes but could not find another goal.
Both managers made use of their benches as the second half wore on. Atletico brought on Morten Hjulmand and Johnny Cardoso for Koke and Alex Baena in the 72nd minute, and Alexander Sorloth had already replaced Kang-In Lee on the hour. Pablo Barrios made way for David in the 78th.
Barcelona's changes included Frenkie de Jong coming on for Brian Farinas at half-time and Andreas Christensen replacing Joao Cancelo on the hour. Eric Garcia and Gavi came on for Marc Bernal and Fermin in the 74th minute, and Karim Adeyemi replaced Anthony Gordon late on.
Atletico's starting eleven was Oblak in goal, with Marcos Llorente, David Hancko, Marc Pubill and Alex Grimaldo across the back. Koke, Pablo Barrios and Alex Baena formed the midfield, with Kang-In Lee, Alvarez and Giuliano Simeone up front.
Barcelona started Joan Garcia in goal behind Brian Farinas, Pau Cubarsi, Gerard Martin and Joao Cancelo. Pedri, Marc Bernal and Fermin played in midfield, with Yamal, Raphinha and Anthony Gordon leading the attack.
A note on the wider picture
Coverage of the fixture in the Indonesian press reflected its importance at the top of the table. Tirto.id framed the match as a fight for the summit, and Kompas.com published a score and line-up prediction ahead of kick-off. CNN Indonesia reported the result with emphasis on Fermin's two goals, while Goal.com carried a separate line about Atletico president comments directed at Alvarez, urging him to make amends by scoring twice against Barcelona. Those remarks are reported by Goal.com and are not confirmed elsewhere in the material reviewed here.
The match was played at the Metropolitano, Atletico's home ground in Madrid. detikSport's account gives the goals as Simeone's opener on 10 minutes, Fermin's equaliser on the stroke of half-time, and Fermin's winner on 66 minutes from a Yamal assist.
Barcelona's next task is to hold the advantage their points total gives them as the season continues. Atletico, meanwhile, will look to close the gap after a home defeat that leaves them five points adrift of the leaders.
