Barcelona turn up the heat on Atletico Madrid in the title race

Atletico Madrid are still being hunted down by the chasing pack in LaLiga Santander. Matchday 28 saw Diego Simeone's side win, but so did both of their rivals.

After Real Madrid's 3-1 win over Celta Vigo and Barcelona's 6-1 thrashing of Real Sociedad, Los Colchoneros are still feeling the heat at the top.

After the international break, the final 10 matchdays of the 2020/21 LaLiga Santander season will be played, with 30 points up for grabs.

There are two remaining fixtures between the three title favourites, with El Clasico on Matchday 30 and Barcelona hosting Atletico on Matchday 35.

Sevilla could close the gap on the teams above them if they take points off the likes of Atletico on Matchday 29 and Real Madrid on Matchday 35.

With their four-point lead over Barcelona still intact, Atletico are the only team that have their fate in their own hands. They have an inferior head-to-head record against Real Madrid, though, should they finish level on points with their neighbours.
