Atlético can cross Barcelona for the championship title

The defending Catalan team led twice in Vigo on Saturday, but ended up with a 2-2 draw, and the two points lost meant Real Madrid, which won in Barcelona on Sunday night against Espanyol, stepped up a bit.

Although Quique Setién's team is still unbeaten after a break due to the coronavirus epidemic, he has only been able to win three times, and the draws could seriously affect the final result.

Atlético Madrid - also on Saturday - beat Alaves 2-1, a milestone for head coach Diego Simeone: he is now the most successful coach in the history of the capital club in terms of the number of victories in the league. Led by an Argentine specialist, the team collected the three points in La Liga for the 195th time, with former record holder Luis Aragonés having 194 cutting-edge successes.

The Madrid Guard is doing well anyway, winning four times in a row after a draw since the start, and has remained unbeaten in his last ten meetings.

The two teams ’most recent clash in January was won 3-2 by Atlético in the Super Cup semi-final in Saudi Jeddah, while in the first half of the league, Barcelona won 1-0 a few weeks earlier in Madrid.

Leading the way for Real Madrid is not an easy task either, as Getafe, who belongs to a large leading group, will be welcomed in the final match of the round on Thursday night. The team from the township near the capital will still be on the field against Real Sociedad on Monday (tonight) night, and if they win, they will be in fifth place ahead of Villarreal.

Zinedine Zidane’s top-of-the-line team won all five matches in the post-stoppage stage, so another success - as well as Barcelona’s loss of points - could move away from its biggest rival.
