Barcelona’ s stuttering title bid suffered another
setback when they lost 2-1 at home to Valencia on
Sunday , while Atlético Madrid moved level on points
with the La Liga leaders after a comfortable win over
Granada.
Shell- shocked Barça have 76 points along with
Atlético, who knocked the holders out of the
Champions League in midweek, and remain top only
due to a superior head -to - head record .
Atlético earlier eased to a 3 -0 home win over
Granada after Fernando Torres grabbed his fourth
goal in as many games with Koke and substitute
Angel Correa also on the scoresheet .
Real Madrid, whose coach Zinedine Zidane said in
February that the title race was over , thrashed
Getafe 5 -1 away on Saturday and stand just one
point behind the leading pair .
