The Spanish outfit needed a win to guarantee first place, or hope  that Dortmund did not win in Monaco.     But Dortmund triumphed 2-0 in the principality as Atleti drew a blank against  a lively Brugge side, who very nearly snatched victory 15 minutes from time when  substitute Luan Peres had a header saved by the foot of Jan Oblak.   Antoine Griezmann saw Brugge goalkeeper Ethan Horvath make a superb stop to  deny him with Atleti's best chance of the game in the first half.   Despite Brugge's fate being settled, they contributed to a fantastic pace at  the start of the match, although the first real opening fell to their visitors,  with Thomas Partey denied by Horvath from 12 yards.   Stefano Denswil then fizzed a right-footed strike just wide of the left-hand  upright at the other end, before Saul Niguez cut the ball back agonisingly  behind Thomas Lemar with Horvath beaten.    Lois Openda’s appeals for a penalty on only his third start for the club  rightly fell on deaf ears after he went down softly under pressure from  Francisco Montero, and Oblak was equal to a curling Denswil free-kick after 24  minutes.Horvath had to be alert a minute later to expertly tip over Griezmann's  dipping strike – a fantastic save that even earned praise from the France  international.    The energy of the first half disappeared after the break and Atleti  frustrations grew as the Brugge defence refused to allow Griezmann to make an  impact.   And Peres almost secured a memorable victory for the home side when he met  Ruud Vormer's cross with a downward header, only for Oblak's well-placed boot to  get in the way, with the ball then bouncing behind off the Brugge player.   Atleti's desperation saw Koke resort to an ambitious shot from distance that  missed the target, and substitute Angel Correa failed to get the telling touch  in a goalmouth scramble two minutes from time.</blockquote>
