Not everything happened like the Atlético de Madrid supporters hoped for this very special day for their team, and more particularly for Antoine Griezmann. The Frenchman of thirty-four, holder on Saturday during the trip of his team to the lawn of the Espanyol Barcelona (1-1, 29th day of Liga), became the most capped foreign player in the history of the Spanish championship, with 521 appearances on the clock. All this did not prevent Atlético from letting go of two points with the promoted.
It all started rather well for visitors with a rather well -controlled first period (59% ball possession), despite a glaring lack of offensive precision. Only a balloon on eight attempts. Yet sufficient to
Colchoneros who opened the scoring through César Azpilicueta (0-1, 38th). What also regain the changing rooms with a meager advantage.
Too thin since the premises will manage to equalize following a fault of Clément Lenglet. A jersey draw on an opposing, synonymous with penalty that transformed Javi Puado (1-1, 71st). Having entered a little before, Juan Alvarez failed to get his team out of a blocked situation.
Atlético wins in the title race
In the provisional classification, it is not a good operation for an Atlético de Madrid which this on Saturday continues a third rank of rank without success (two defeats and a draw). The Madrid club could see its neighbor from Real (2nd) taking off since in case of success against Leganès this evening, Kylian Mbappé and his family would have six units in advance. Atlético could also count nine points of month as the leader Blaugrana if the latter wins Sunday against Girona.
Note that a little earlier in the afternoon, Real Sociedad beat the Red Lantern, Valladolid (2-1). Enough to stay in the middle of the classification to a provisional tenth place.
