Atletico continued to maintain their position in the top group of La Liga after a narrow 1-0 victory over Girona at the Metropolitano Stadium. The hero for the home team was Ademola Lookman with the only goal in the 21st minute.

Following a well-placed pass from Antoine Griezmann, the Nigerian striker unleashed a decisive shot that beat the Girona goalkeeper, giving Diego Simeone's side the advantage.

After scoring the opening goal, Atletico played defensively and controlled the game to maintain their advantage. Girona, despite their best efforts to find an equalizer, faced many difficulties against the tight defense of the Madrid team.

This crucial victory helped Atletico maintain their fourth position in the league table with 69 points after 37 rounds, bringing them closer to their goal of finishing the season in the Champions League qualification spots.

Meanwhile, the defeat saw Girona drop into the relegation zone, sitting 18th with 40 points. The Catalan team will face immense pressure in the final matchday if they want to stay in La Liga.

Girona's opponent in the final round is Elche, who are just above them in the standings. A win is essential if Girona want to determine their own fate and continue to participate in La Liga in the 2026/27 season.

Previously, Oviedo was the first team to be relegated from La Liga. The remaining two relegation spots were contested by Mallorca, Girona, Elche, Osasuna, and Levante.
