Spanish leader Atlético de Madrid suffered a 2-0 loss at home to Levante (2-0) on Saturday.
A few days after the 1-1 draw on the floor of the same rival in a delayed match in the second round, the team coached by Diego Simeone, who started with João Félix, stumbled again and the comfortable “punctual” The Pad, which that he already had could be reduced to three points if runner-up Real Madrid wins in Valladolid this Saturday.
In the match day 24, the precise shots by José Morales in minute 30 and Jorge de Frutos (90 + 5 ‘) without Jan Oblak guaranteed victory for the underprivileged who had Portuguese pivot Rúben Vezo at the start after two draws and two losses.
The colchoneros only lost on matchday 13 against Real Madrid (2-0, December 12, 2020) and then added nine wins and two draws. Now they only count one win in the last four rounds.
With 23 games played, Atlético was left with 55 points compared to 49 for the merengues (23 games), 46 for Barcelona (22) and 45 for Sevilla (22). Levante climbed to eighth place with 31 (24).
Hours earlier, in a fight between the victims, Elche scored a goal from defender Dani Calvo in the 33rd minute to beat Eibar 1-0 at home. The hosts added 21 points and “caught” in 17th and 4th place the Basques, who had Rafa Soares in the last leg of the game this Saturday, while Paulo Oliveira was not an option.
Elche ended a 16-game streak without winning the League, unlike Eibar, which plays seven games without winning.
