Atletico Madrid won thanks to Griezmann a 1-0 victory in extremis Saturday against Granada, which allows them to get closer to the 3rd place occupied by Sevilla as they drew 1-1 against Leganes in the week 27of the Spanish La Liga campaign.
Thanks to this success, the Atletico returned to five points of the podium but takes especially four leagues ahead of the Real Sociedad, 5th, which plays Sunday against Bilbao. Auspicious before the return match of Champions League against Leverkusen on Wednesday at Vicente-Calderon (4-2 win in the first leg).
Meanwhile, Sevilla did not have the same success on the lawn of Leganes, just before going to second leg of last 16 champions League against Leicester City on Tuesday. The Sevillans, who hoped to stay in the wake of the duo Barca-Real, found themselves in the second minute on a goal from Gabriel.
Sampaoli’s men equalized just before half-time thanks to the recruit Stevan Jovetic but they could not then take the advantage. It is the second 1-1 in a row for Sevilla, after that against Alaves at the beginning of the week.
With 57 points, the Andalusians remain in third place, five points behind Real Madrid, and three points behind Barcelona, but will have to start looking behind if they want to stay on the podium.
On the other hand, Valencia also had to settle for a 1-1 draw against the bottom teams Sporting Gijon on March 12. The Salvador team “Voro” Gonzalez was surprised at the hour of play by the Croatian Duje Cop, who took advantage of a ball pushed back by his goalkeeper Diego Alves to open the scoring.
Daniel Parejo missed a penalty for Valencia five minutes earlier, but Munir El Haddadi finally saved the point of the draw at the end of the game. Valencia remains locked in thirteenth place with 30 points and Gijon is still in the red zone with 19 points only from 27 games played this season.
