The duel between the two teams who have conceded the fewest goals in the League ended goalless. Despite attempts from Atletico to take all three points at the 4th placed team, the game ended goalless with the defences coming out on top.

Simeone's return to the stadium that saw him make his debut as manager of the red and white’s ended the same as the match in January 2012, with the score level. Atlético have recorded 14 games in the league without conceding a goal. After 26 rounds played, Atletico have the best defensive record in the league having received 23 goals, one less than Malaga.

The solid defensive play of Simeone’s team is a credit to each and every one of the players who take to the field to defend the shield of the Manzanares club. The Belgian goalkeeper is at the top of the Zamora trophy table with an average of 0.80 goals conceded per game.
