Real Madrid lost their leading position in the Spanish championship after one day. Atlético de Madrid won 2-1 (1-0) at Alavés on Sunday and are now two points ahead of Real. After losing points, the difference between the rivals in the city is even eight points, because Atlético still have two games left to catch up. In the afternoon game, FC Barcelona celebrated a 1-0 (1-0) victory in the tail of Huesca.

Atlético played in the Basque Country for the last half hour after a red card against an outnumbered Alavés player. However, the Madrilenians had to accept the tie in the 84th minute with an own goal from Brazilian defender Felipe. Luis Suárez achieved the correction to 2-1 in the 90th minute.

Frenkie de Jong scored the goal after a pass from Lionel Messi just under half an hour (27th). Despite slightly better results in recent weeks, Barça are fifth, a 13-point defeat behind Atlético.
