In the match of the 19th round, Diego Simeone’s team defeated Osasuna 1:0 at home and it was their eighth consecutive victory in the league, and their 14th consecutive victory in all competitions.
Already in the 7th minute, Atletico scored a goal through Griezmann, but it was later disallowed for handball, so it remained 0:0.
That score stood until the 55th minute when Alvarez scored for what would turn out to be the final 1:0.
Atletico is now the first in the table with 44 points and with today’s victory they jumped over Real, who is second with one point less. Barcelona is in third place with 38 points, while fourth place Athletic Bilbao has 36.
Atletico will have the opportunity to continue their impressive winning streak in the 20th round away from Leganes.
