Griezmann well ahead of Messi

The La Liga weekend was favorable for Atlético de Madrid.

Winners of Girona on Saturday, not without a double from Griezmann, the Matelassiers thus regained a little margin in the race for the C1, promised to the first four clubs in Liga.

Fourth, four points behind the Catalans, who were dominated this weekend, Simeone's men have the same four-point lead over Bilbao, who failed to win this Sunday.

Faced with a Villarreal team reduced to ten at the start of the second half, Athletic opened the scoring well through Sancet (67e) but Parejo equalized from the penalty spot in added time (1-1, 90e+5).
