After racist remarks by a small group of their fans stirred up controversy last week, Atletico Madrid crashed to their second league defeat of the campaign after losing 0-2 to Almeria. They are now level with Real Madrid and Barcelona on 57 points.
Atletico led La Liga for the first time since their double-winning season in 1995-96 on 2 February, but failed to keep up the points (or the pressure, probably) and finally succumbed to last night’s defeat.
