Atletico Madrid: Bitter defeat in Getafe - title fight in danger!

Getafe, Spanien - On Sunday afternoon, Atletico Madrid experienced a dramatic 1-2 defeat against Getafe in the 27th round of the Spanish La Liga, which shook their title at all. The team of coach Diego Simeone led until the 88th minute. Alexander Sørloth provided the 1-0 lead after a foul-related foul with a penalty. But the game took a shocking turn when Ángel Correa saw the red card after a male foul in the 88th minute, which marked a decisive moment, as well as Onefootball reported .

In added time, Mauro Arambarri initially unexpectedly equalized for Gewafe when he pushed an accident -prone shot over the line. Just two minutes later it was Arambarri again who, after a happy distraction, fell for Jan Oblak to 2-1 for Getafe. This final sprint presented Atletico with a difficult challenge, since it is now a point behind the leaders FC Barcelona, who has played one less game, so Laola1 reported .

The disappointment for Atletico is tangible, because this defeat could have serious consequences: In the case of still professionally ambitious rivals such as Real Madrid, who compete against Rayo Vallecano on the same day, Atletico could continue to slip in the table. Instead of an important victory that would have brought them to the top of the table, the team now faces a previous setback in the Champions League, where the upcoming second encounter against the city rivals is due and they run after a defeat.
