This is how the top four of the Spanish La Liga looks like at the moment. I don't think any of us would have predicted anything similar to this after Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 4:0 in October but this is actually the reality at the moment. Barcelona started the season on a very good note and were even tipped by many to reclaim the league title at the end of the season but the Catalonian club have had very poor results in recent times and are now trailing league leaders by three points and second player Real Madrid by two points. If both Madrid clubs wins their outstanding games, Barcelona will be 6 and 5 points behind respectively.
A very surprising thing really happened, Atletico Madrid who are in serious mode in their ambition to win the trophy, have managed to beat Barcelona who are currently the leaders of the standings with a score of 2-1, and with this Atletico Madrid officially shifted their position at the top, but the match is still ongoing, with this victory Atletico Madrid's confidence level will continue to increase.
The victory over Barcelona is a clear proof of Atletico toughness and determination this season, where the victory has led them to temporarily control the top of the La Liga standings, so far Barcelona always continued to dominate the victory over Atletico, so I think the victory is a great achievement that will definitely boost their morale for the next match, previously we saw that Atletico always struggled to maintain their consistency in the league, so I think Simeone needs to fix this in order to remain a candidate and also a challenger to the title this season and no longer repeat their mistakes of the previous seasons.
