Athletic Bilbao won 14 matches. Athletic Bilbao has a noteworthy crew available to them and can sneak up suddenly on their day. Atletico Madrid has given indications of progress as of late and should strive to keep their spot in the top four.
Antoine Griezmann was the hero as Atlético Madrid beat Athletic in LaLiga.
More passes inside the final third than any Atlético player in the first half, but he was booked for an elbow on Oihen Sancet with the ball in the air and that possibly conditioned his substitution on the hour. All of the good things De Paul brings to the table were there in the first half, but many of the bad too. Really good chance at the start of the second half too but foiled at the near post again by Agirrezabala. Won the ball back a number of times and helped Atlético subdue Athletic Club as they looked for an equaliser. He won the ball back more times than any Atlético player (10) on the night and led the team in tackles as well as tackles won — 8. Delivered a dainty cross to Carrasco at the back post at the start of the second half that almost resulted in a goal. More passes than any Atlético player, maybe not quite as influential in the final third as you’d like — 6. A tough day at the office, having to chase Iñaki Williams between the channels, but he coped well in the first half. Not much joy for Llorente in the first half, as he had just one touch inside the penalty area. Won all seven of his duels in the first half, the most by any Atlético player. He sometimes got caught by Iñaki in behind but dealt well with him generally in the first half and wiped out his brother Nico as well. Just had one shot to save from Oihan Sancet in the first half.
