Barcelona close in on title as Atletico Madrid crash out of race

Barcelona remain on track for the title while Atletico Madrid crashed out of the race during a dramatic penultimate round of games in La Liga yesterday afternoon.

With all 10 games kicking off simultaneously at 5pm local time, there was heaps of excitement at both ends of the Primera Division table.

Barca kicked off knowing that to win the title they needed to beat Espanyol at home and hope that Atletico lost at Levante and Madrid did not beat Valencia.
