Dani Olmo sealed Barça's comeback against Atlético with a beautiful goal in the 65th minute. Unfortunately, the Terrassa native injured his shoulder just after scoring

FC Barcelona regained the lead against Atlético de Madrid in an unfortunate play for Dani Olmo. The '20' finished off a good collective play by the Blaugrana with a notable, precise left-footed shot, unreachable for Oblak, but immediately afterward he suffered an injury to his left shoulder that forced him to leave the field.

The Terrassa native managed to position himself between the opposing defenders to line up and shoot a ball that Robert Lewandowski had missed. However, he fell on his shoulder after shooting, suffering an apparent dislocation.Olmo didn't even celebrate the goal and immediately called for assistance from Barça's doctors. Finally, **Marcus Rashford** came on in his place, while the attacking midfielder left with ice on the affected area and gestures of pain and frustration.

Injury marred another great game from Dani Olmo

In the first half, the 26-year-old player caused a penalty when the match was already 1-1, after Raphinha's goal in the 26th minute, in response to Álex Baena's initial strike.

In the 35th minute, Olmo drew a clear foul from Pablo Barrios that Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea did not hesitate to award as a penalty. The VAR ratified the decision, but Lewandowski sent the shot soaring over the bar.

Dani Olmo had scored a brace against Alavés on Saturday and seemed to be returning to his best form, taking advantage of Fermín López's absence to occupy the position where he feels most comfortable: behind the '9' as an attacking midfielder.

Once again, an injury halts the Terrassa native, who has already suffered five physical setbacks since arriving at the club. For now, the '20' has scored 16 goals and provided 9 assists in 56 official matches for the Blaugrana team.
