It’s fair to say that Atletico Madrid’s 2-0 defeat at Camp Nou was effectively the end of the title race for Diego Simeone and his men. That was the game with a six-pointer and a win in that match would have cut the deficit down to a reachable gap.
But it didn’t happen, and now the situation is almost out of their hands. In fact, the title race will be over this week if Atletico lost to Valencia and Barcelona collect three points against Alaves.

So it’s coming for Barca, and only a miraculous debacle would change that scenario. But we are better off without a hypothetical approach.
Atletico, though, have still a lot to play this season. There is a small matter of finishing ahead of city rivals Real Madrid on the table. In that regard, the Rojiblancos are pretty much in the driving seat with four points separating both the teams on the table.
Meanwhile, Valencia are 5th in La Liga and are in the thick of the fight with Getafe for the final Champions League place. Considering only two points separate them both the team, they have a lot to play for in the league.
And then there is a Europa League semifinal match to look forward to as well. So in some sense, despite Valencia starting the season with too many draws, Marcelino’s team can make this season a memorable one in some long, long time.
