Games of Week 36

On Sunday night, something that hasn't happened in more than a year happened. Three top teams have all lost the league. With FC Barcelona tying Getafe on Saturday night the should have lost the league. However, on Sunday, Atletico Madrid lost to Levante 2-0, and Real Madrid C.F. tied 2-2 to Valencia. Because all teams failed to win, the title is still up for grabs.  If Atletico had won against Levante, the only thing they would've needed was to win against Malaga but with an own goal and a finish by David Narrel they suffered a difficult loss. Valencia kept Real Madrid on their heels the entire game. Valencia had a goal in the 44th minute and Sergio Ramos with a goal in 59th, but Valencia came back with a goal six minutes later. For Madrid to take the league, they need to win their next three games and for Atletico to lose one game. Barcelona tied 2-2 against Gatefe, for them to win, they need to win their next two matches and for Madrid to at least tie one. Atletico is currently holding La Liga in their palms but they must win their game against Malaga on Sunday to take it. Atletico is the only teams whose fate lies in their own hands. If Atletico wins they will be the first team to take La Liga other than Madrid or Barcelona since 2004. However, if there is and unlikely tie between the three, Barcelona will come out on top.

  4. I had no idea it would be possible for all three of the teams to basically lose.
    Now I just wonder if that means they are really good because they can't beat eachother, or really bad because... well, they can't beat eachother.

    Nice job on the blog entry though
