Football - La Liga Santander - Atletico Madrid v Real Sociedad - Wanda Metropolitano, Madrid, Spain - May 12, 2021. [REUTERS/Sergio Perez]With a little help from their hated local rivals, Atlético Madrid can clinch its first Spanish league title in seven years today. Atlético leads defending champion Real Madrid by two points with two matches remaining and will win the title if it beats Osasuna at home and Madrid fails to win at Athletic Bilbao. “There’s another final coming up against Athletic this Sunday and after the game we’ll look at the Atlético result.”Before joining Madrid via a stint at Chelsea, Courtois helped Atlético win its last league title in 2014. The team, which hosts Celta Vigo on Sunday, would need both Atlético and Madrid to fall apart to pull off a remarkable comeback.
