The BBC website is no better (does no one proof read any more?)

Regarding La Liga this season, the table for the top 3 says

1. Atletico Madrid P:35 Pts:88 GD:53
2. Barcelona P:35 Pts:84 GD:67
3. Real Madrid P:34 Pts:82 GD:82



Are Real Madrid expecting a points deduction? While I hope that Atletico hold on I can't help feeling that Barcelona may spoil the party.

Based on what the news said last night, results against teams equal on points trumps goal difference. This would mean that Atletico do only need to win their next two to win the Spanish title. I feel somewhat more confident about them disrupting the status quo now.
