Espanyol 1-1 Atletico Madrid: Visitors title hopes dented after giving up another lead - Soccer News
Briefly

Atletico Madrid's recent struggles continued as they drew 1-1 with Espanyol in LaLiga, marking their third consecutive league match without a win. Despite initially taking the lead through Cesar Azpilicueta's goal, they faltered after conceding a penalty to Javi Puado in the second half. Atletico's title hopes are diminishing, highlighted by ineffective offense with just two shots on target. The team, currently third in the standings, has won only one match in March, leading to concerns over their form as they trail leaders Barcelona by six points.
For the third league match in a row, Diego Simeone's side gave up a lead, with relegation-threatened Espanyol adding another dent to their title hopes.
Atletico are on their worst winless streak since October - November 2022 and struggled in front of goal, managing just two shots on target and accumulating 0.64 expected goals from their 13 attempts overall.
