Top since week 12, Atlético hung on to a lead they had first taken in November. Pushed out by Barcelona, driven by vindication, Suárez has directly contributed 21 points, giving Atlético their second title in seven years. Valladolid were fighting against relegation; Atlético were fighting their own fears, the pressure they have lived with for months now. From an Atlético corner, Yannick Carrasco lost the ball and suddenly Simeone’s side were exposed. And then, on 57 minutes, came one of those moments that have defined this title race.
