Barcelona's hopes of retaining the Spanish title look to be slipping away after Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid, and the decision to leave Antoine Griezmann on the bench for almost the whole game appeared to sum up the malaise which has taken hold in the Catalan capital. Twice Barcelona led against Atletico at the Camp Nou only to be pegged back and forced to settle for a third draw in their last four La Liga outings which leaves them a point behind leaders Real Madrid having played a game more. The scenario was a repeat of last weekend, when Quique Setien's team were ahead twice away at Celta Vigo only to draw 2-2.
