Smashed Osasuna 3-0: Atletico Madrid climbed to a second title in La Liga 

Atletico Madrid climbed temporarily to second in the La Liga table from its neighbor Real Madrid following a commanding 3-0 victory over Osasuna at Civitas Metropolitano on Sunday in the thirty-fifth round of La Liga. Yannick Carrasco, Saul Niguez, and Angel Correa were on target as Diego Simeone's side leapfrogged rivals Real Madrid, who play Valencia later on Sunday, with an eighth straight home win. The hosts broke through a minute before half-time. Saul's through ball released Antoine Griezmann, who claimed his 13th assist of the season by putting the ball on a plate for Carrasco to tuck away his fifth goal in 11 appearances. Saul doubled the lead in the 62nd minute when he rifled into the top corner, while substitute Correa sealed Atletico's 10th straight victory over Osasuna when he slotted home Rodrigo de Paul's through-ball eight minutes from time. Atletico Madrid raised its score to 72 points in the runners-up of the table, awaiting the results of Real Madrid's battle with Valencia. On the other hand, Osasuna's balance stopped at 47 points ranked ninth in the La Liga table.
