“Autonomy” Atletico, breath for Espanyol

Atletico drew 3-3 with Espanyol in Barcelona, ​​while leading 3-0, for the 36th matchday of La Liga and missed the chance to be back in second place with +2 from Real, with the European champions in +1 from the “Rojiblancos” and expect a battle in the last two matches for second place between the two Madrid players.

Instead, the “blue and white” of Catalonia found themselves in -3 of the places to stay and will need wins and a combination of results in the last two matches of the season to stay in the division.

Diego Simeone’s men made it 0-3 with goals from Saul Niguez in the 21st minute, Griezmann in the 44th minute and Carrasco in the 46th minute, but their composure and naivety equalized with goals from Yasib in the 64th minute, Joselu with a penalty in 76′ and De Souza in 79′.

Getafe “dropped the bomb” and with a 1-0 win at “Benito Villamarin” against Betis, they left the danger zone and left the “Verdiblancos” in agony for the top six.
