The title race in La Liga was blown wide open on Sunday as Real Madrid earned a late draw at leaders Atletico Madrid, 1-1. While Real wasted a chance to pull within a couple points, Barcelona are now just three points back of first place thanks to this result. Real remain firmly in the race at five points back.
This game featured superstar goalkeepers Jan Oblak and Thibaut Courtois making fantastic save after fantastic save, but it was Karim Benzema’s 88th-minute goal that canceled out Luis Suarez’s first-half striker, as each team took a point. Real looked set to take nothing from this match, but a flurry of quality late chances helped turned the tide and rescue something from a match where they surely deserved something.
