**Madrid, Spain** – La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat at the hands of Leganes on Saturday, bringing an end to their club-record 15-game winning streak. The loss opens the door for both Real Madrid and Barcelona to potentially overtake Atletico at the top of the table.
Matija Nastasic’s second-half header proved to be the decisive goal for Leganes, who defended resolutely throughout the match. Atletico’s star striker, Antoine Griezmann, missed a late penalty, further compounding their woes. Despite hitting the woodwork and having other chances, Atletico were unable to break down Leganes’ stubborn defense.
The defeat is only Atletico’s second of the league season. Their previously dominant form had propelled them to the top of the table at the halfway point, surpassing both Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, this unexpected setback allows their rivals a chance to reclaim the lead. Real Madrid face Las Palmas on Sunday, with a victory potentially putting them atop the standings. Barcelona, meanwhile, will aim to close the six-point gap when they play Getafe later today. Leganes’ victory is a significant upset, highlighting the competitiveness of La Liga and leaving the title race wide open.
