Atletico won 3-0 against Alaves earlier in the day to draw level on points with Barcelona, but the Catalans pulled away. Due to the defeat, Alaves seem to have dropped off, as they now trail the leaders by seven points.
The battle at the top is as close as it has been in quite some time, and it is refreshing to see the duopoly of Barca and Real Madrid broken. It is bound to be a close title race, and both Sevilla and Atletico could push Barca till the very end. After last season, a close title race could be a great change of script.
