Joao Felix scored a brace as they beat Osasuna, but Los Rojiblancos were not able to break Valladolid until the 82nd minute as Vitolo stepped up for Atletico.

Teams are allowed five substitutes in three breaks. They are also allowed drinks break across both halves. The leagues are trying to save players from fatigue but the message has not reached Barcelona manager, Quique Setien. In their last league outings, only three out of possible five substitutes were used.

Getafe continues poor form

Getafe needed a victory for the fight to stay at the Champions League spots. They have scored more than Atletico Madrid but their defense has been a bit leaky and they again conceded to draw the game against Eibar. They have now dropped 7 points in three games since the restart as they have seen Atletico Madrid take a spot on top four.

La Liga title is Real Madrid’s to lose

Ramos is now the highest scoring defender in La Liga

Barcelona drew their game at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan and with Madrid beating Sociedad, La Liga title is theirs to lose as Zidane’s men are tied at the top and having a better head to head against Barcelona. Real will be title winners if they are tied at points come end of season.
