      abstract     = {A search for the decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson
                      into a $b\bar{b}$ pair when produced in association with a
                      $W$ or $Z$ boson is performed with the ATLAS detector. The
                      data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 79.8
                      $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ were collected in proton-proton
                      collisions during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider at a
                      centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. For a Higgs boson mass of
                      125 GeV, an excess of events over the expected background
                      from other Standard Model processes is found with an
                      observed (expected) significance of 4.9 (4.3) standard
                      deviations. A combination with the results from other
                      searches in Run 1 and in Run 2 for the Higgs boson in the
                      $b\bar{b}$ decay mode is performed, which yields an observed
                      (expected) significance of 5.4 (5.5) standard deviations,
                      thus providing direct observation of the Higgs boson decay
                      into $b$-quarks. The ratio of the measured event yield for a
                      Higgs boson decaying into $b\bar{b}$ to the Standard Model
                      expectation is $1.01 \pm 0.12 \mathrm{(stat.)}
                      ^{+0.16}_{-0.15} \mathrm{(syst.)}$. Additionally, a
                      combination of Run 2 results searching for the Higgs boson
                      produced in association with a vector boson yields an
                      observed (expected) significance of 5.3 (4.8) standard
                      deviations.},
