Who will triumph in the closely contested Liga BBVA title race this season?

League Table:

With a 0-2 victory against Getafe on Sunday, Atletico Madrid have now moved a step closer to winning their tenth Spanish Premier League title, a feat that they haven’t pulled off in almost two decades now. With 82 points in their hands, they sit on top with a three-point advantage, and are closely followed by Real Madrid (79 points) and Barcelona (78 points).

Barcelona had earlier succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to Granada, and have most probably given up on their title chase as they prepare for their Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid on Wednesday, the only tournament they have a chance of securing a win as of now. Real Madrid, on the other hand, cruised to a comfortable 4-0 victory at home against Almeria on Saturday.
