Atlético de Madrid faced a shocking defeat against Leganés in Matchday 20 of La Liga, losing 1-0 at Butarque Stadium. The only goal of the match came from Matija Nastasic, who scored with a powerful header, sealing a crucial victory for Leganés. This unexpected loss marked the end of Atlético`s impressive 15-match winning streak, raising questions about their title aspirations.

The performance from Atlético was notably lackluster, characterized by a conservative approach that left them struggling to catch up. Star forward Antoine Griezmann had a chance to equalize late in the game but missed a penalty that could have altered the outcome. This defeat saw Atlético drop to second place in the La Liga standings with 44 points, while Real Madrid surged to the top with 46 points after a commanding 4-1 victory over Las Palmas. Barcelona remains in third with 39 points following a draw against Getafe.

The relegation battle intensified as Leganés gained vital points to distance themselves from the drop zone. This match highlighted the fierce competition at the lower end of the table, where multiple teams are fighting for survival. The implications of this weekend`s results will resonate throughout the league as teams jockey for position in the race for the title and to avoid relegation.
