Atletico loose so much ground in this last rounds, against weak teams like LEganes and Getafe and now with this fail against Barcelona when they have the win in their hands is gonna cost a lot for them to recovery.
It was a big chance to recover for the UCL the game against Barcelona but all goes down in just a few minutes.
In other things, what a great season is doing Valverde as a coach of Bilbao.
Atletico Madrid lost key points which cost them a lot this season, and with four points separating them from the league table, they did not seem to be a title candidate anymore. They lost to Leganes, who are at the bottom of the league, and the previous two weeks were against Getafe after Arambarri scored a brace in 6 minutes to help Getafe fight back. Even though one of Atletico Madrid's players was sent off, they still had the power to defeat Getafe, especially when they were leading by one goal.
I thought the game against Barcelona would be an opportunity for Atletico Madrid to bounce back from their Champions League defeat, but they were unable to maintain the advantage and conceded four goals in the second half after 2 goals lead. Atletico Madrid had three consecutive losses, losing two league games and being eliminated from the Champions League; they may recover this season, but they have lost their opportunity to compete in the league.
