Atlético held 1-1 by Almería in Spanish league
MADRID (AP) — Atlético Madrid has been held to a 1-1 draw at Almería in the Spanish league and is at risk of dropping out of the Champions League places. Ángel Correa put Atlético ahead in the 18th minute but El Bilal Touré equalized for the hosts in the 37th. The result leaves Atlético hanging on to fourth place. It is tied on points with Villarreal and Real Betis which has a game in hand. Barcelona, Betis, Real Madrid and Valencia don’t feature in the league this weekend because of the Spanish Super Cup that is being played in Saudi Arabia. Barcelona and Madrid play the final later Sunday.
