Atlético de Madrid can thank Real Valladolid. Definitely in the hard time in the end of the season, the Diego Simeone team almost let go of home points against the red lantern, before the contribution of its bench and the opposing weakness allow the Colchoneros to get out of it (4-2). At 7 day from the end, the Madrid, 7 points from Barcelona, still have a very thin hope of title.
While the victories of Real and Barça this weekend left him no right to the faux pas, Atlético still almost caught his feet in the carpet facing the last of Liga, very quickly dominated by the teammates of Antoine Griezmann, still very discreet this Monday. It is the other Frenchman aligned at the start for Atlético, Clément Lenglet, who caused a first fear to his audience.

And following a fault from Lenglet, the Vallisolétains returned. Javi Sanchez saw his shot on a free kick, deflected, taking the counter-footage Jan Oblak (2-2, 56th). But a new fault of Henrique, late on Llorente, allowed the Madrilenians to take over the lead, thanks to the 14th realization of the season in the Julian Alvarez championship (3-2, 71st).
Thanks in particular to the good entry of Rodrigo Riquelme, the Colchoneros ended up definitively yielding their opponents, with a goal from Alexander Sorho (4-2, 79th).
