Atlético Madrid have a five point lead over Barcelona and six over Real Madrid, who play today against Real Sociedad, after their 2-0 win over Villarreal.

Barcelona gave away two points at the death against Cádiz on Sunday, with a penalty from Lenglet. Alfredo Relaño looks at their coach’s dire situation.

Real Madrid have closed the gap on Atlético to just three points - just a week ago such a situation was unimaginable, writes Alfredo Relaño.
