Atlético Madrid were surprised 1-0 in Mallorca on Wednesday for the 14th day of La Liga and fell to 6th place, thirteen points behind the leader, FC Barcelona, winner 2-1 in Osasuna on Tuesday.
The Mallorcans opened the scoring in the 16th minute, on a ball released by Jan Oblak and pushed into the back of the net by Vedat Muriqi, then Alvaro Morata thought he would respond in the 21st, but his goal was canceled for offside.

This is the fourth defeat of the season in the league for the teammates of Antoine Griezmann, who had learned a few hours earlier of his predictable integration into the list of the French team for the World Cup in Qatar (November 20-December 18) .
Uninspired and numb, Diego Simeone's men offered nothing in the first period.
They were more daring on the return from the locker room, without managing to equalise.
This is the fourth game in a row without a win for the Rojiblancos in all competitions (two draws, two losses).
The Argentinian technician will also have to monitor the case of Nahuel Molina: the Argentinian international was replaced by his compatriot Angel Correa half an hour into the game, but it looked like a tactical choice by Simeone more than a change for injury.
Real Sociedad on the podium
Earlier in the evening, Real Sociedad sank Sevilla FC (2-1): Takefusa Kubo opened the scoring in the 20th for the Basques, then the Andalusians were reduced to nine after two red cards addressed to Ivan Rakitic ( 28th) and Tanguy Kouassi (34th).
In the process, Brais Mendez doubled the lead for Real Sociedad (36th), before Rafa Mir reduced the gap just before half-time (44th).
Thanks to this success, Real Sociedad dislodges its neighbor Athletic Bilbao from the podium, while Sevilla FC continues its descent into hell and remains in contact with the red zone (17th, 11 pts).
