In a tense La Liga battle, Girona and Athletic Club settled for a 1-1 draw at Girona’s home, while Real Madrid seized the initiative after Cádiz claimed a 0-3 victory away. The results leave both Girona and Real Madrid level on points, with four points separating them from Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona, each of whom still have a game in hand. Atlético benefited from Antoine Griezmann’s late intervention to secure a win over Mallorca, a result that was watched closely by Xavi’s Barcelona, who earned a share of the spoils in a point-heavy clash with Rayo Vallecano. The controversy surrounding two potential penalties in that game sparked debate among fans and pundits alike, with officials opting not to award either decision.
As the race for European places heats up, Athletic Club and Real Sociedad solidified their positions by both reaching 25 points. Real Sociedad celebrated a home win against Sevilla, a match that finished with ten men for Sevilla after Sergio Ramos and Jesús Navas were sent off in quick succession, reshaping the final minutes with reduced options for the visitors. The battlefield at the top is narrowing, while the chasing pack remains lively and unpredictable, with tactical battles unfolding across stadiums up and down the country. Real Sociedad now leans on a balanced mix of home form and resilience on the road, reinforcing their claim to European football next season. (Source: La Liga)
At the opposite end of the standings, Almería clings to the basement with just 3 points, followed by Granada on 7 and Celta de Vigo on 8. The perilous margins keep several clubs within touching distance of safety, making every upcoming fixture a potential turning point. Coaches are analyzing goal margins, defensive solidity, and the ability to convert chances in tight games as the season moves toward its decisive stretch. (Source: La Liga)
