Diego Simeone fielded a full-strength team against Alaves but he watched his side get outplayed by the Basques, who are without a win in the league in 2017. Atletico Madrid's troubles away from home continued when they were held to a goalless draw at Alaves on Saturday, dropping points on the road for a second consecutive week and losing Uruguay international Jose Maria Gimenez to injury. Atletico are fourth on 36 points and could drop to fifth if Real Sociedad win at leaders Real Madrid on Sunday; Alaves are 12th on 24. It was a bad game from our point of view and Alaves were better than us in every aspect, especially in intensity," Simeone told reporters. Granada returned to the bottom of the league following Osasuna's 1-1 draw at home to Malaga on Friday.
