#1 The league title race is far from over
Barcelona's lead was in double digits going into this round of fixtures and they looked to be cruising to the title. Atletico's challenge had faded and Barcelona was on a six-game winning streak, looking ominous. But after today, the picture has changed considerably.
Trending
Atletico beat Girona 2-0 in a tough game, which had reduced the gap to seven points. Barcelona's draw means that the gap will be eight when Atletico visit Camp Nou on Saturday. That game is a massive one and Diego Simeone's side can cut the gap to five points if they win.
If Barcelona wins this weekend, the race will surely be over. The game is as good as a decider and comes at a crucial point of the season for the Catalans. With a Champions League tie against Manchester United looming, having the league wrapped up will make things a lot easier for the defending Champions.
