When one of the three wins, they all win; when one of the three slips up, they all slip up. As it happened this weekend, the top three teams in the Spanish La Liga move at the same speed.
This keeps the race to win the Spanish league as interesting and full of drama as possible. Following Barca’s draw against Getafe, Atleti fell at Levante, and Los Blancos drew with Valencia.
On Wednesday, Los Blancos will be away to relegation-threatened side Real Valladolid. Victory is a must for both sides.

Right now, each team preserved the position they had before the weekend, however, everything may change in the last games. In fact, while Los Rojiblancos and Barcelona have two games left, Ancelotti’s team has three games in hand, which could affect the final outcome.
