The Atlético de Madrid continues to lead the LaLiga standings with six rounds left for completion. Set red and white has three points advantage over Real Madrid, in five to Barcelona (with one game less than the Catalans) and in six to Seville. A minimal difference, but a difference at the end of the day, to face the remainder of the championship.
And what lies ahead for the leader is awesome. Because things from the asymmetric calendar, and to advance the 33rd day of the League, Atlético will now have to play three consecutive games away from home. His most immediate pursuer at the moment, Real Madrid, will play three in a row at home.
The climb will begin this Sunday, at 9:00 p.m., in front of the Athletic in San Mamés. It will continue on Saturday, May 1 at 4.15 p.m. before the Elche at the Martínez Valero. And the summit will be reached on Saturday May 8 at 4.15 pm at the Camp Nou. Three horrendous matches, against a rival who is not going through his best moment but who is always a threat in his stadium, then he meets a team that risks its life to avoid relegation and to close this 'tour' through the Spanish geography , a direct duel that can be decisive for the title.
This will be the ascent of the mountain, but the descent will also be dangerous. And with curves. Because then the Royal Society will pass through the Metropolitan on Wednesday May 12 at 10 pm. Same scene of the penultimate day against Osasuna. In the last one, Atlético will visit Zorrilla. In these two commitments there will be unified schedules whenever there is something at stake.
