Hansi Flick’s side regained momentum in the second half. Dani Olmo and Raphinha scored within four minutes of each other to make it 3-3 by the 77th minute, giving Barcelona a lifeline in front of their home supporters.
Just as the game appeared to be heading for a draw, Olmo went down in the box in the 98th minute.
Following a video assistant referee check, the referee awarded a penalty. Raphinha stepped up and converted with composure to secure all three points for the league leaders.
The win puts Barcelona seven points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, who host Athletic Bilbao on Sunday with a game in hand.
