Real Sociedad win 2-0 at Celta Vigo and take back the Spanish championship lead from Real Madrid. Atletico is taken victory late.
The run of success of the underdogs from San Sebastian continues: Real Sociedad wins on Thursday in the eleventh round of the Spanish championship against Celta Vigo 2-0 and moves back to first place in the table.
Alexander Isak (54th) and Aritz Elustondo (79th) pave the way for the guests to the seventh win of the season.
Real Sociedad now hold at 24 points, three points ahead of Real Madrid, who had moved up to the top of the table on Wednesday. The “Royal” had to be satisfied with a goalless draw with ÖFB star David Alaba at home against Osasuna.
Atletico receive disputed compensation, Simeone flies
Defending champion Atletico Madrid already looks like the sure winner against UD Levante on Thursday evening, leading 2-1. With the “three”, the Madrilenians would draw level with Real Madrid, Sevilla FC and Betis Sevilla, all of whom hold 21 points. Levante and referee Pablo González Fuertes have something against it. The Spanish referee only sends start coach Diego Simeone because of criticism with yellow-red from the edge of the field. Then he gives a controversial hand penalty a few minutes before the final whistle – the second penalty that Enis Bardhi converts. The game ends 2-2. Atletico are now five points behind leaders Real Sociedad.
Barca down, Koeman gone
By the way, FC Barcelona are currently only ninth. After the 1: 2 in the Clasico, the Catalans also lost to Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday. A major defeat that cost trainer Ronald Koeman his job that same evening. ÖFB legionnaire Yusuf Demir will soon get a new trainer. Barca icon Xavi has the best cards right now.
