Atletico Madrid Hold Slender La Liga Lead As Spain's Big Two Resume Battle
Atletico Madrid lead Spain's two giants by a whisker heading into the second half of the La Liga season, after racking up 15 victories on the spin across all competitions. Diego Simeone's side visit minnows Leganes on Saturday looking to maintain their advantage on champions Real Madrid, second, and resurgent third-place Barcelona. Los Blancos host Las Palmas on Sunday after the Catalans visit Getafe the night before following back-to-back five-goal triumphs, with both teams in league action for the first time in the new year.
