Atletico may not have stretched a historic winning streak at the Santiago Bernabeu to four league games, but Antoine Griezmann’s late equaliser will feel just as good as Real’s chances of a first title in five years were dealt a huge blow.
The red and white side of Madrid are still scarred by losing the second of two Champions League finals in three seasons to Real last season.
However, they gained some small measure of revenge as Barcelona now have the title back in their hands.
Atletico looked to have blown their chance when Fernando Torres fired straight at Keylor Navas when clean through.
But Griezmann showed why he is the most wanted forward in Europe this summer with the coolest of finishes after rounding Navas five minutes from time.
