MADRID (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid's 2-0 La Liga defeat at Levante on Sunday was the best thing that could have happened as it will give the players a chance to show what they are made of, according to coach Diego Simeone.
The leaders' reverse in Valencia means Atletico's advantage over second-placed Barcelona, who drew 2-2 at home to Getafe on Saturday, was cut to three points with two games left, including the clash between the teams at Barca's Nou Camp stadium on the final day of the season.
