Atletico has gotten a red card just 7' into the game let's see how it affects the game. Madrid got a red card against Osasuna and ended in a draw now Atletico got theirs quite early and they haven't scored yet so let's see how tactical Atletico will be over Celta Vigo playing 10 men against 11.
If Atletico fails to get all three points in this match then Barcelona will have a big chance to get that which they have always craved for. Barcelona getting 3 points in their next match automatically puts them at the top of the table with Madrid directly below them based on goal difference.
Losing one player due to a red card at the start of the first half really made it difficult for Atletico Madrid to develop their game. I haven't seen them make any dangerous attacks until the second half, but I'm sure Atletico Madrid will try their best to find a goal that will put them in the lead this week. It would be a shame if Atletico Madrid drew or lost, it would clearly be detrimental to those who previously had hopes of taking the lead.
You are right, if Atletico Madrid draws or loses, then Barcelona will likely take a big advantage. Barcelona have been very productive this season and just a narrow win over Rayo Vallecano would take them to the top of the standings. But we have to wait to see how Atletico Madrid ends the match, there is still plenty of time for this match.
Looking at the way this game is going so far, and with Atletico Madrid red card, it's most likely at the end of the game, the result will end just like Real Madrid's draw.
Then, For the Real Madrid's own match, I quite understood why the game ended that way, already Osasuna is a strong opponent side to face let alone with a red card advantage over Madrid, now with the red card decision, it gave Osasuna opportunity to double up and held Real Madrid fully until theb
