Atletico Madrid narrow 1-0 win over Girona

In order to increase their chances of earning a Champions League qualifying berth this season, Los Rojiblancos travelled to Catalonia. In the Estadi Montilivi, though, the visitors were left to hold their breath until replacement Alvaro Morata eventually secured all three points. Memphis Depay squandered two key early chances, which added to the misery as Diego Simeone's team quickly took control.

In the 90th minute, the former Chelsea striker scored to help Atleti extend their league-best undefeated streak to nine games, winning six of them. As a result, they are currently third in the standings, eight points behind Real Madrid in second position, and 17 points behind Barcelona. In Serie A, AC Milan was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Salernitana, preventing them from taking advantage of other Champions League contenders dropping points.
