The battle for La Liga trophy is still on!
Round 36 of La Liga was probably the most surprising one this season. The three Spanish giants fighting for the domestic trophy all lost ground. There is only two rounds left and Primera Division is among the fewest leagues in Europe where the battle is still on.
First it was the leader, Atletico Madrid who cracked down. Surprisingly, Atletico lost at Levante 0-2 and everyone though Barcelona and Real Madrid will benefit from this lost.
However, it was no the case. Barcelona was stunned at home by Getafe. The small team from the capital city obtained a 2-2 draw at Camp Nou Stadium after scoring the second goal within the stoppage time. Atletico still has three points ahead of the Catalan team.
The third team to end a horror weekend for the three Spanish clubs was Real Madrid. Lost Blancos avoided the loss thanks to Cristiano's goal late in stoppage time. Valencia led two times, but Real found a way every time to score an equaliser.
The race for La Liga trophy is still one. Atletico leads the general classification with 88 points, Barcelona is three down, while Real Madrid is on the third spot with 83 points. However, the last round of the season will bring face to face Atletico and Barcelona in a what looks to be “do or die time” game for both clubs.
