Third-place finish for Atletico Madrid despite Granada stalemate

Atletico Madrid and Granada play out an uneventful goalless draw at Los Carmenes on the final day of the La Liga season.

Atletico Madrid have been held to a goalless draw by Granada at Los Carmenes, but the point is good enough to see both sides achieve their respective final-day targets.

Last year's champions required just a draw to finish in La Liga's top three, while the Nazaries have prolonged their four-year stay in the Spanish top flight thanks to the stalemate.

Both sides cancelled each other out in the opening quarter of the game, with chances proving to be limited at either end.

Antoine Griezmann, tasked with leading a somewhat depleted Atletico line this evening, managed to cut inside from the left before firing away the first shot of note, which sailed wide of the target.

Granada looked liveliest when Piti found himself on the ball but, other than a cross which went right through the box, the forward was unable to break the deadlock in a goalless opening 45 minutes.

Koke came close to finding a way through soon after the restart when he hooked a volley goalwards, but Roberto Fernandez read the danger well to keep it out.

Granada, who came into this fixture on the back of three successive wins, turned the screw themselves as the match wore on, with Ruben Rochina swinging in a dangerous cross which Miranda did well to clear away.

There was to be no winning goal, though, which could have dramatically changed the fate of the losing side.
