After Real Madriddropped points against Real Betis and Barcelona held firm against Villarreal, Atletico Madrid surrendered their lead in the title race with defeat at San Mames.

While Antoine Griezmann fired the Catalans to a second consecutive victory to take them to 71 points, level with second-placed Real Madrid, they have a game in hand on their rivals at the top of the table.

Should Ronald Koeman‘s side beat Granada on Thursday, they will go top of LaLiga Santander with a one-point lead.

The result in Bilbao on Sunday night has changed the complexion of the title race completely, meaning that Atletico will have to win at Camp Nou to lift the league title, unless their rivals drop points elsewhere.

Sevilla are also in the race, having beaten Granada in strange circumstances as the referee mistakenly blew the final whistle a minute early.

On 70 points, one behind Real Madrid and Barcelona, they could still win the league should the top three suffer disappointment in any of their fixtures.
