• Liga: Atlético keeps the lead but is scared
Atlético Madrid striker Luis Suarez got his team off the hook on Sunday against Alaves.
With Marcos Llorente's opener in the 41st minute, Diego Simeone's players seemed to be in control.
But after several Madrid failures, Alaves came back to the score in the 84th minute of play, on a goal against his camp Felipe.
Luis Suarez ended up delivering his own by scoring his ninth goal of the season at the very end of the match by taking a cross from the Portuguese Joao Felix at the far post.
With this fourth victory in a row (1-2), Atletico de Madrid retains its advantage of two points ahead of Real Madrid, with two games less.
For its part, Barça also struggled to get rid of Huesca (0-1).
Lionel Messi's teammates finally came to the end thanks to Frenkie De Jong, the only scorer of the match served by Leo Messi, in the 27th minute.
Thanks to this success, FC Barcelona goes back to fifth place, eight points behind Real Madrid second, and 10 behind leaders Atlético Madrid.

Callum Hudson-Odoi only saved the honor of Chelsea in the last moments of the match (90 + 2).
