Yannick Carrasco, Saul Niguez and Angel Correa scored to give Atletico Madrid a 3-0 home win over Osasuna on Sunday.

Carrasco opened the scoring right before the break after a fast build-up and Saul extended their lead in the 62nd minute, striking a loose ball into the net from inside the box.

Correa closed out the win with a tidy finish from a Rodrigo de Paul pass in the 82nd minute.

Atletico manager Diego Simeone's in the aftermath hailed his side for managing to secure a top-four spot, claiming they came back from the dead after a poor start to the campaign. 

'In November we were told we were "almost dead". We worked day after day, looking for what we could control', Simeone said. 

'We worried about what we could improve. The boys followed the plan and we are still alive.'

With Barcelona having already clinched the title, Atletico are second in LaLiga with 72 points, one ahead of Real Madrid, who drop to third after losing away to Valencia. 

Atletico will face Espanyol in midweek before taking on Real Sociedad and Villarreal in their final two matches of the season.
