This season’s La Liga title race has been keenly contested, with the last three matches tagged as a decider for Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The Catalans 3-3 draw with Levante on Tuesday night gave them little hope of chasing the La Liga title and Los Blancos need to beat Granada whiles expecting Atletico to draw or lose in any of their subsequent two matches to make the path clearer to defend their title.
Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night held their nerve to beat Real Sociedad 2-1 on Wednesday and move within touching distance of winning La Liga.
With just two matches remaining for the Rojiblancos, the probability for them to win this season’s La Liga title is high.
Yannick Carrasco and Angel Correa made a dominant first-half count for the Red and Whites, who retreated in the second and were left hanging on after Igor Zubeldia blasted in for La Real with seven minutes left.
The taskmaster for Rojiblancos, Diego Pablo Simeone Gonzalez jogged up the tunnel at the Wanda Metropolitano after the final whistle, punching the air as he went, fully aware how important the result could prove.
"We were excellent in the first half but the suffering was unnecessary when we had so many chances," Simeone told after the game.
Victory puts Atletico four points clear of the Blaugrana in the table and five ahead of Real Madrid with Zinedine Zidane's side playing their game in hand away at Granada on Thursday.
It also raises the possibility of Atletico winning the title in the penultimate round on Sunday when they play at home to Osasuna.
Another victory this weekend would knock Barca out of the race regardless of what Ronald Koeman does against Celta Vigo.
