Barcelona, Atletico, Real Madrid all win, title race down to final 2 matches

As you were, La Liga.

The three teams at the top of the table - Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid - all secured slender victories on Saturday, ensuring that each side will be in the title race going into the final two matches of the season.

Real Madrid, the first to take the pitch, earned a 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad, with a late header from Gareth Bale the difference. The Welshman continues to put Los Blancos on his back during the injury-induced absences of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

City rival Atletico followed suit, despite Diego Simeone watching from the stands as he serves his three-match ban. A fierce drive from Antoine Griezmann pushed the Rojiblancos over Rayo Vallecano.

With the pressure of knowing its two rivals both held court, Barcelona closed out the day with a comfortable (red-card assisted) win over Real Betis, with a goal from Ivan Rakitic coupled with Luis Suarez's league-leading 35th of the campaign proving to be the difference.
