Since Valencia last won La Liga in 2004, Barcelona have won the title six times over with Real taking three titles, and over the last five seasons the gap between second and third place in the league table has always highlighted just how much the Spanish league has been dominated by just two teams. In those five seasons the gap between second and third has always been at least 17 points by the end of the season, but finally now someone is crashing the party.

Atletico Madrid have refused to fall away as the season has gone on as many had predicted and they are still hanging in there with a real chance at causing a major upset.

They have also been excellent in the Champions League; already taking a 1-0 lead after their last-16 first leg tie against AC Milan at the San Siro.

Atletico are currently level on points with Barcelona, however, they will be desperate to avoid defeat today, which would see them fall six points behind Real.
