BARCELONA, Dec 3 — Barcelona produced an impressive comeback to beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 yesterday and move four points clear at the top of La Liga, with coach Hansi Flick saying his side had taken a step forward after some shaky performances.

Alex Baena fired Atletico ahead but Raphinha equalised for the champions before Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres struck to end the visitors’ run of 13 straight league games without defeat.
