Barcelona are in the driver's seat in La Liga following Atletico Madrid's 0-0 draw with Sevilla on Sunday.
Atleti remain level on points with Barca, with the Catalans ahead on goal differential. The reigning champions have a game in hand as well, and should they win that, they'll be clear at the top:

| 1 | Barcelona | 20 | 15 | 3 | 2 | +36 | 48 |
| 2 | Atletico Madrid | 21 | 15 | 3 | 3 | +22 | 48 |

| 20 | Levante | 20 | 3 | 5 | 12 | -19 | 14 |
Sunday's result will be extremely frustrating for Atletico manager Diego Simeone.
