Next Real bankruptcy - draw in the top game between Sevilla and Atletico

Seville (SID) Defending champion FC Barcelona escapes the competition in the Spanish football championship, arch-rival Real Madrid slipped even deeper into the crisis on the 18th matchday of the Primera Division. While Barca extended its lead over pursuers Atletico Madrid to five points with a 2-1 (2-1) win at the gates of Madrid at Getafe FC, record champions Real suffered a bitter 0-2 (0-1) defeat against outsiders Real Sociedad and, as fifth in the table, have to be careful not to lose sight of the Champions League places after their sixth defeat of the season. For Barcelona, with German national goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen between the posts, superstar Lionel Messi secured their twelfth win of the season with his 16th goal of the season (20th) and Luis Suarez (39th). Mata (43rd) scored for the home team. The leader's lead over Real is already ten points. On Saturday, the surprise team Deportivo Alaves overtook Real, the Champions League winner of the last three years, with a 2-1 win against FC Valencia. The Basques now have one more point in their account than the Royal team around Toni Kroos, who was unable to give much impetus to the Real game. Uncomfortable times are beginning for Real coach Santiago Solari after the third home defeat in the league. Already in the seventh minute, the guests from San Sebastian took the lead thanks to a converted penalty kick by Willian Jose, which the Brazilian Casemiro had given to Mikel Merino. In the period that followed, Real tried their best, but failed either because of the strong Sociedad goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli or because of the aluminum, like Lucas Vazquez shortly before the break. After a yellow-red card for Lucas Vazquez (61st), Real also argued with referee Jose Munuera Montero, who denied the host a clear penalty in the 65th minute. Vinicius Junior had previously been clearly fouled by Rulli. Despite loud protests from the Madrilenians, the referee didn't even bother to provide video evidence. The guests always remained dangerous on the counterattack and made everything clear through Ruben Pardo (83'). Atletico Madrid had previously kept Sevilla FC at bay in the pursuit duel. With a 1:1 (1:1) in Andalusia, coach Diego Simeone's team defended its two-point lead over Sevilla as second in the table. The Frenchman Wissam Ben Yedder (37th) had put Sevilla in the lead with his ninth goal of the season, Atletico striker Antoine Griezmann (45th) equalized with a dream free kick shortly before the half-time whistle. Lucas Hernandez, who was courted by the German record champions Bayern Munich, was due not in the Atletico squad due to a knee injury.
