Last night, Atletico Madrid surprised us all amidst their underwhelming performance. Because last night, Atletico Madrid defeated the league leaders, Real Madrid, with a fantastic score of 5-2. In that match, Real Madrid actually dominated the match, as they held much of the ball. But the Atletico Madrid players were amazing, they utilized counter-attacks very well and accurately. Because of that, Atletico Madrid was able to turn things around and ultimately win this match.
Furthermore, with Atletico Madrid's victory in this match, they are currently in fourth place with 12 points. So, this truly indicates that Atletico Madrid will once again compete for the top spot in the La Liga standings. Real Madrid is currently on the verge of being displaced. Because currently, the team in second place, Barcelona, is only two points behind Real Madrid. So, if Barcelona can beat Sociedad tonight, they'll certainly return to the top of the La Liga standings. So, we'll have to wait and see if Barcelona can win or not tonight.

Furthermore, it's true that Real Madrid is no longer at the top of the standings, as Barcelona beat Sociedad 2-1 last night. So, with that, Barcelona currently tops the La Liga standings. With this in mind, I believe Real Madrid's fight to become La Liga champions will be a bit more difficult. Barcelona likely won't let their position slip any further. With that in mind, Real Madrid simply needs to play well and avoid dropping any more points. If Real Madrid drop any more points, I believe it will significantly increase their points gap with Barcelona. Furthermore, Yamal is back in action for Barcelona, and in this match, he also provided an assist for Barcelona. So hopefully he doesn't get injured again and stays fit until the end of this season.
