Robert Lewandowski and Fermín López also scored for Barcelona, which moved into second place with its fifth consecutive league victory over Atlético.
Félix scored the goal in the Catalan club’s 1-0 league victory in December. The Portuguese international is playing on loan for Barcelona after falling out with Atletico last season.

Félix opened the scoring from the center of the area after a pass from Lewandowski in the 38th minute, becoming the first Barcelona player to score in both games against Atlético in the same league season since Lionel Messi in 2019-20.
Lewandowski increased the lead on a breakaway after Atlético midfielder Rodrigo De Paul lost possession with a poor pass early in the second half, and the Polish striker set up López’s header for Barcelona’s third goal in the 65th.
“It was certainly our most complete match,” said Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández.
