MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid's title hopes were dented as Antoine Griezmann grabbed an 85th-minute equaliser for city rivals Atletico Madrid in a 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu on Saturday. Despite needing a late leveller, Atletico manager Diego Simeone said his team deserved to take the three points from the derby clash. His Madrid counterpart, Zinedine Zidane, however, put the dropped points down to a lapse in concentration. We didn’t get the second goal and we suffered.”The first half had been a tense affair, with both teams playing patiently and carving out a couple of opportunities to take the lead. Opposing manager Zidane had words of praise for the Atletico striker, who scored his 23rd goal of the season in all competitions.
