Only one point separates Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid in the La Liga standings after 27 games.
La Liga is home to the closest title race across Europe's top five leagues. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid have all taken turns leading the Spanish top-flight this season and the table seems to change with every passing weekend.
Real Madrid were the only team to collect three points this weekend with a 2–1 victory against Rayo Vallecano. Atlético Madrid, meanwhile, conceded two late goals against Getafe to lose 2–1. Barcelona were slated to face Osasuna, but the match was postponed after the death of the Catalans' first-team doctor, Carles Miñarro Garcia.
Here's a look at the top six in La Liga table following Real Madrid's 2–1 victory.

Despite postponing their match against Osasuna this weekend, Barcelona still remain atop the table with 57 points. The Catalans have not lost a La Liga match since Dec. 21.
Atlético Madrid could have surpassed Barcelona with a victory over Getafe, but Diego Simeone's men coughed up a late lead and wound up collecting zero points on Sunday. The defeat left the door wide open for Real Madrid to climb back into second place.
Los Blancos are now back level with Barcelona; the two sides each have 57 points. Barcelona, though, have a game in hand.
