Atletico stumble offers Barcelona La Liga title hope

The league title in race in Spain looked to be done and dusted just a few short weeks ago with Atletico Madrid 10 points clear with a game in hand at the end of January.

Yet Diego Simeone’s men have stumbled in recent weeks and defeat to Levante on Saturday means Barcelona cut can the gap to six points on Sunday with victory over Cadiz.

Barca could then pile some real pressure on Atletico in midweek against Elche.
