Alaves - Atletico: a draw and another missed opportunity

In the 34th round of La Liga, Alaves hosted Atletico Madrid. Contrary to expectations, there were no goals in this match and the match ended with a score of 0:0.

With this result, Diego Simeone's team missed another valuable opportunity in the tournament table. The "Matraschilar" currently has 67 points and is in third place.

Championship chances are in danger

If the leading "Barcelona" defeats "Valladolid" at home on the same day, the gap in the table will reach 12 points. This could almost eliminate "Atletico" from the championship fight for the remaining rounds of the season.

It is worth noting that in the clashes between the two teams this season, they have been distinguished by their superiority - "Atletico" won one match, and "Barcelona" won the other. However, the “blue and pomegranate” have a significant advantage in terms of total goals scored — +57 to +29.

In conclusion…

With this draw, Madrid lost important points that they had in their hands. Now their fight for the championship depends on their opponents. If Barca wins, they will strengthen their all-round advantage.

Do you think Atletico will be able to return to the championship fight in the last rounds and surprise their fans? Or is Barcelona about to end the season early? Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
