Hansi Flick was delighted with Barcelona's never-give-up attitude as they came from behind to secure a 4-2 victory over Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth had given Atletico a 2-0 lead by the 70th minute, but Barcelona dug deep to claim a huge comeback win.

Ferran Torres netted twice off the bench, with Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal also getting on the scoresheet to send Barcelona back to the top of the table.

Barca are level on points with Real Madrid, with a game in hand, and moved four points clear of Atletico, who sit third in LaLiga.

It is the first time that they have avoided defeat in four consecutive away games (W3 D1) against Madrid sides in the top-flight since December 2019 (under Ernesto Valverde), with Flick overseeing that run.

"After being down 2-0, we had to show our mentality, and we didn't give up," Flick said.

"I'm happy for the team, the club, and the fans. We showed great attitude, and that's why we won the match.

"They never give up. It's been incredible. I'm very proud of them. Right now, we're confident about how we should play. And when we make a mistake, they use it. We're really great offensively, and I think we were the better team today."

Torres, who came on in the 67th minute, has now scored seven goals in LaLiga this season and netted more than once in a league game for the first time since January 2024, when he scored a hat-trick against Real Betis.

Barcelona have now benefitted from 15 goals from substitutes in the league this season, with Flick full of praise for the Spaniard's impact.

"Players who come off the bench always do well; and Ferran is a player who gives 100%, like all substitutes, and he does it every training session," Flick added.

"But this is what everyone who isn't in the starting lineup does. We'll do our best until the end."
