The Matchday 19 fixture was brought forward because the January calendar is already packed with the Spanish Super Cup, which will involve both teams.

To avoid fixture congestion and allow both clubs to focus on the Super Cup without overburdening players, La Liga's organisers rescheduled the match for tonight instead of playing it in January as originally planned.

Referee Ricardo de Burgos blows the whistle, and Atletico Madrid get tonight's match underway in the renovated Camp Nou. Only a limited number of fans are in presence, but they are making themselves heard. Can Barcelona increase their lead at the top of the table? Stay tuned!

The second shot of the night from Barcelona, and this is a much better attempt from Raphinha. The Brazilian was found at the edge of the box and let fly, and it went inches over the bar and had Oblak worried for a second.

That's a sad end to Johnny Cardoso's night. The American midfielder has been struggling since the early clash of heads, and has to go off. Koke comes on in his place.

Baena puts Atletico Madrid ahead!! It was a terrific solo effort from the former Villarreal man, who was found by Molina inside the Atleti half and ran miles with the ball before finding the back of the net past Joan Garcia.

Atletico's lead lasts just six minutes as Raphinha equalises for the home side!! It was pure Samba magic from the Barca winger. After being found by Pedri's pass, he weaves past the defenders before dummying Oblak and finding the back of the net with finesse.

Barcelona's dominance on the ball in the last 10 minutes takes its toll on the Atleti defence. Barrios gives away a penalty after a foul against Olmo in the box, and referee De Burgos points to the spot.

Lewandowski is the man who steps up to take the penalty. The Pole takes his run up, and... MISSES! It's a horrible penalty, flying way over the bar. Atletico Madrid survive.

Two yellow cards in the last six minutes. Earlier, Baena earned a booking after throwing himself on top of Cubarsi with no intention of playing the ball. In injury time, Martin gets his name taken by the referee for another clumsy foul on Simeone.

The referee blows his whistle for half-time, and it's all square the break in Camp Nou. Barcelona have utterly dominated proceedings, having 71% of the ball and 12 shots, including three on target. Crucially, the shot not on target was Lewandowski's penalty, which means Atleti are still in the contest.

Barcelona get the second half underway. The home side dominated the first half, but it's time for them to convert it into something tangible if they want to increase their lead at the top of the table.

Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, have made a change at the break, with Gallagher coming on in place of Nicolo Gonzalez.

A slower tempo in the second half. Atletico have started well, with Alvarez being found by Gimenez. The Argentine makes a dart down the right flank before shooting from the tight angle. Garcia makes a decent save.

The game reaches the hour mark, and Barcelona are knocking on Atleti's door at the moment. Lewandowski almost atoned for his penalty miss, but Raphinha's cross missed his foot by inches. Pedri then attempts to play one of his teammates through, but it goes behind for a goal kick.

Tiredness is creeping into the Atletico team, and Diego Simeone makes a double change. Alex Baena and Giuliano Simeone are both off, with the former suffering a knock. In their places come Thiago Almada and Sorloth.

Dani Olmo puts Barcelona ahead!! It's a good team goal from the home side, with Lewandowski and Olmo combining well. The Polish striker plays Olmo through with a deft touch, and the latter makes no mistake with his finish into the bottom corner.

Barcelona make two changes. Lewandowski's miserable night is over as he comes off for Ferran Torres, while goalscorer Olmo is replaced by Rashford.

More changes for the Blaugrana. Pedri is run ragged and comes off for Dro Fernandez, while Raphinha is replaced by Casado. Atletico substitutes Koke – who himself came on as a first-half substitute – and Griezmann comes on in his place.

10 minutes left on the clock, and Atletico are trying hard to get the equaliser. Thiago Almada has a decent effort from the edge of the box, but it whizzes past the post. Barca, meanwhile, are compact in defence, hoping to stretch their winning run to five games in the league.

A late change for Barcelona, with Yamal being brought off for Christensen as Hansi Flick looks to see off the remaining match without any trouble.

Cherry at the top of the cake for Barcelona as Ferran's late goal seals the contest for the home side. Balde did most of the hard work, cutting back across the face of the goal for the forward to fire into the back of the net from close range.

The referee blows his whistle to bring the match to an end, and Barcelona complete the comeback at their renovated home. There was a bit of attacking pressure from the Rojiblancos in added time, but Ferran's late goal sealed the contest for the home side.
