Atletico lost to a team battling to avoid relegation.

Atletico Madrid's chances of winning the title are virtually over after their surprising 0-1 defeat to Las Palmas in round 32 of La Liga on the morning of April 20th.

Atletico made a big mistake in the title race.

At the Gran Canaria stadium, Las Palmas, a team that was in the relegation zone (18th place) before this round, coach Diego Simeone's team delivered a lackluster performance.

In the first half, Julian Alvarez missed a golden opportunity in the 37th minute to put Atletico ahead just before halftime. The Argentinian striker shot straight at the goalkeeper from less than 6 meters away.

In the second half, Alvarez's teammate, Alexander Sorloth, created a notable opportunity with a header in the 65th minute, but Las Palmas goalkeeper Dinko Horkas made an excellent save.

In the 90+3 minute of added time, the home team caused a shock when Javier Munoz capitalized on a mistake by the Atletico Madrid defense, scoring past goalkeeper Jan Oblak and sending the crowd at the Canaria stadium into a frenzy of joy.

Diego Simeone's team suffered a bitter defeat, effectively ending their chances of competing for the La Liga title with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Atletico have lost five and drawn six matches in La Liga this season, a dismal record for a title contender.

Atletico currently have 63 points, 10 points behind Barcelona. Real Madrid are second with 66 points but have a game in hand. For Las Palmas, this important victory helps them climb to 17th place, temporarily escaping the relegation zone and rekindling hopes of staying in the league.
