That point was really crucial though for Real Madrid.
- They would lose a head to head-finish against Barca (lost both times) so they really needed to get that 1 point to stay ahead of them.
- They would also lose a head to head-finish against Athletico so they needed that 1 point to be able to finish above them should Barca beat Athletico. (89 vs 88 ).
Without the point today their title bid would've been over.

But that would mean Arsenal would always lose out in case of a draw, going by Wengers recent record against top5 teams 🙁
