BARCELONA:

The Catalans trailed 3-1 inside the final half-hour after a Borja Iglesias hat-trick for the visitors, but Dani Olmo scored and then Raphinha equalised before he snatched victory with a 98th-minute penalty to snatch three essential points for the leaders.

Reigning champions Real Madrid, second, host Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, with a Clasico showdown still to come in May.

"This attitude, this mentality of not giving up, is really great to see... we tried everything to get the three points and we did it," Barcelona coach Hansi Flick told reporters.

However, Flick said striker Robert Lewandowski needed tests after coming off with an apparent hamstring problem, making him a doubt for the Copa del Rey final next weekend against rivals Real Madrid, and putting a question mark over his involvement in the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan.

"From my experience, we wait until tomorrow (and the tests)," said Flick, who did not want to rule out the club's top scorer too quickly.
