Atlético Settles For Another Draw As The Walls Close In Around LaLiga Leader
It’s really, really not supposed to happen now.
It feels next to impossible at this point, although one look at the LaLiga table shows that Atlético Madrid, by virtue of a single point, still controls its own destiny in the title race with eight matches remaining following Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Real Betis.
