In the first match after returning from Saudi Arabia, where they beat Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup and lost to Real on penalties, the Atlético players experienced an unexpected defeat, with which they probably said goodbye to the fight for the title.
Atletico was defeated by Eibar away 2:0.
In the 10th minute, Sergi Enrich headed the ball after a corner, and Esteban Burgos followed the action at the other post.
The final result was set by Edu Esposito at the end of the match with a shot from the edge of the penalty area.
"Colćoneros" remained on 35 points, eight less than Real, and five less than Barcelona, which welcomes Granada tomorrow for Quique Setien's debut.
Stefan Savić played 90 minutes.
