Levante 2-0 Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid's hopes of winning La Liga for the first time since 1996 took a blow as Levante beat them to give Real Madrid and Barcelona renewed hope. The Champions League finalists trailed after just seven minutes, when left-back Felipe Luis deflected in Levante midfielder Pape Diop's corner. Atletico improved after the break but their defeat was sealed when David Barral coolly struck from eight yards. Atletico stay top, and wins in their final two games will secure the title. Butheir lethargic loss at mid-table Levante has the potential to throw the three-way title race open once again.
