Real Madrid make Barcelona await La Liga title by beating Atletico - BBC Sport

27 April 2013 Last updated at 21:18 GMT Atletico Madrid's 14-year await a victory over Real Madrid continued as Jose Mourinho's men originated in behind to defeat their city rivals 2-1. Radamel Falcao had put the hosts forward by going home Diego Godin's corner. Real levelled when Juanfran focused Angel di Maria's free-kick in to his or her own web and success was secured when Di Maria hit on the hour. It indicates Barcelona's cause in Manhattan project Liga is 11 points with five games left once they received 2-2 at Athletic Bilbao. Victory for the Catalans and defeat for second-placed Real might have guaranteed Barcelona the concept, however the group leaders must now wait at least another week to be crowned winners. The release of Lionel Messi as a second-half alternative raised Barcelona, who had trailed Bilbao at the break thanks to Markel Susaeta's opener. Messi equalised by evading four defenders for a superb solo goal and offered the aid as Alexis Sanchez made it 2-1. But a minute prior to the end Ander Herrera found the bottom part after capitalising on Adriano's careless approval. Real put into Barca's stress by continuing their dominance over neighbours Atletico, even though manager Mourinho made nine changes aside which began the 4-1 Champions League defeat by Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday. Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't a part of the squad due to a thigh injury and Real's weakened part created the worst possible start as Falcao won at the rear post. Equality was soon restored when Di Maria's free-kick presented a number of dilemmas to the house side's protection, causing Juanfran's own goal. Atletico started the next half brilliantly, with Raul Garcia's header tipped onto the crossbar by Diego Lopez and Gabi then spent an excellent opportunity after being put through by Diego Costa. They turned out to be costly mistakes as Karim Benzema create Di Maria for a superb left-footed finish which secured the victory and left goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois powerless.
