At 02:00 Beijing time on February 17, the 21st round of La Liga, MurrayRo scored the only goal of the game, Correa's 96-minute barb was blown, and Atletico madrid was defeated by Levante 1-0 at home, swallowing the second defeat of the last three rounds.
As the defending champions of La Liga, Atletico Madrid lost 0-1 at home to Levante, who is no. 1 in La Liga, which was a surprising result. Simeone once again set a humiliating record, the first defeat in Atletico's history against Levante at home in La Liga. Atletico's previous record of facing Levante at home in La Liga for 58 years was 12 wins and 1 draw, and most recently 11 consecutive wins.
Atletico Madrid upset 0-1 at home, allowing Barca to receive a big gift. Barca still have a three-goal difference advantage despite one game less, pushing Atletico to secure La Liga's fourth place. With 39 points in 24 rounds, Atletico also set the lowest score of the same period since the 11/12 season.
Before this campaign, Levante suffered a three-game losing streak in the league, and they probably didn't expect to be able to score a crucial three points on Atletico. But they now have only 14 points in hand, still in the bottom 1 of La Liga, 10 points behind the bottom 4 granada, and relegation needs a miracle.
