Is incredible how this Atletico Madrid is wasting the chance to be on top of the league, always when they have a little chance waste it agains X team, on this day against Bilbao who is a very hard team to beat on San Mames, but anyways they need to overcome this issue if they want to become champions.
Athletico has actually squandered many opportunities this season to sit comfortably on top of the league table before the winter break, they basically had like three games at hand but now on same games with the top teams and just on goal difference above Barcelona to be on third place. Barcelona playin today against the struggling Valencia team, should they win then Atletico Madrid will drop to fourth on the table just two points ahead of Athletic club.
Athletic club are just two points off the champions league qualification places. There recent form in the league is been great, four wins out of possible five with the point drip coming against Girona who this season have been in a stellar performance can be excused. If they continue and with both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid slipping up this days then they could be rewarded with a top four placement
