Barcelona’s 3-1 comeback win over Atletico Madrid was overshadowed when Dani Olmo dislocated his shoulder while drilling in their second goal, crashing awkwardly as he struck from the edge of the box and needing to be substituted shortly after putting his team ahead. Olmo had already won a first half penalty that Robert Lewandowski blazed over before producing the decisive finish, but early assessments suggest he faces around four weeks out, dealing a blow to Barca’s attacking plans during a congested schedule in La Liga and Europe.

A foul on Olmo brought a missed spot-kick, yet the hosts regrouped after the interval to overwhelm Diego Simeone’s side.
