The La Liga race became a close affair after the weekend

The La Liga race saw the great tumble and others lining up to take their shot after the weekend ended, Atlético Madrid’s shocking loss to Levante and Real Madrid’s win with Barcelona’s 1-1 draw against Cadiz blew open the race wide.

The two Madrid sides are now three points apart and Real holds a great chance to close in on the top if they are able to maintain their form but Atlético has a game in hand still possibly for times like this where they see themselves in a corner, while Catalans are behind by eight points as they failed to take advantage of the top flight’s stumble and drew up with Cadiz to remain in third. After a stupendous start to the season, Atlético Madrid’s run is now slower with 5 goals conceded in 16 matches and have failed to maintain a clean sheet since 12th Jan.
