Real Madrid dropped two crucial points at home on Saturday in La Liga, drawing Atletico Madrid 1-1 as Antoine Griezmann scored with five minutes to go. Entering the day with a two-point lead over Barcelona, this result for Real means a win by Barca later on Saturday will see the two level on points.
It was Pepe’s header early in the second half that gave the hosts the 1-0 lead.
