This weekend, the Liga risks completely changing the face. In the afternoon, Real Madrid was held in check against Osasuna after an arbitral scenario which caused the ire of the Merengues. After these new points lost with their neighbor, Atlético de Madrid could therefore take the leader's throne in the event of a home victory against the Celta de Vigo this Saturday. Finally, the Colchoneros broke their teeth in front of the Galicians.

Indeed, after an early expulsion of Pablo Barrios (5th), the mattress, reduced to ten, were put in difficulty by their opponents. The opening of the score finally came from a penalty spot scored by Iago Aspas (64th). At the end of the meeting, Alexander Sorho allowed the men of Diego Simeone to save the furniture (1-1, 81st). With this draw, Atlético de Madrid returns to a Real point at the top of the ranking. FC Barcelona rubs its hands: in case of victory this Monday against Rayo Vallecano, the Catalans could take over the throne of leader.
