Atletico are now level on points with Real Madrid but go above their city rivals, who lost to Barcelona, on their head-to-head record.
Atletico's fine season under coach Diego Simeone means there is a chance of a team other than Real or Barca winning La Liga for the first time since Valencia were champions 10 years ago.
If Atletico and Real finish the season level on points, the former will take the title as they have a better head-to-head record thanks to the 2-2 draw at the Vincente Calderon and a 1-0 win at the Bernabeu in September, the only home game Real have not won this term.
Barcelona, who host Atletico on the final day, are one point off the Madrid duo.
