A little more than 72 hours after its slap against Benfica in the Champions League (4-0), Atlético de Madrid suffered a new disappointment, but in lesser proportions. Facing Real Sociedad this Sunday, the Colchoneros were hooked at the very end of the match (1-1) while they thought they were heading towards new success.

However, it only took 50 seconds for Julian Alvarez to open the scoring at Anoeta, after a backheel from Antoine Griezmann. Not taking advantage of your chances carries certain risks, such as being punished, and the Colchoneros learned this to their cost. In the final minutes of the match, Croatian international Luka Sucic dampened their hopes with a marvelous shot into the top corner (84th, 1-1). In the standings, Atlético is 3rd and is now 7 points behind Barça. Real Sociedad is 15th.
