In the Spanish "La Liga" championship, four more matches of the 8th round were played on Sunday.
They once again did not go well for the Madrid "Atletico" team coached by Diego Simeone, which, after making only one shot on goal during the match, played a goalless draw with "Real Valladolid".
The hosts had a real chance to take all three points, but Sandro Ramirez, who made a very poor shot in the 36th minute, missed from the penalty spot and did not lead "Real Valladolid" ahead.
In the last five matches, the "Atletico" team has settled for a draw for the third time this season in only one match. Their gap from Real Madrid remains at three points.
In other matches, Vigo's "Celta" achieved a minimal victory at home over Bilbao's "Athletic". "Mallorca" also added three important points to their account.
In another match, the San Sebastian "Real Sociedad" team suffered a painful defeat, failing to hold on to the lead and losing 1-2 to Madrid's "Getafe". Diego Llorente's red card, which he received in the 53rd minute, also contributed to this result.
