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.
Bilbao is a very difficult team to beat, so Atletico Madrid's defeat at San Mames is normal. However, Atletico Madrid, who dominated possession of the ball, failed to create many goal opportunities, which meant they couldn't score a single goal until the end of the match. Bilbao, who played at home, played much more effectively in building attacks. They lose in possession, but they excel in other statistics such as total chances and shots on goal.
Atletico Madrid's defeat is an advantage for Barcelona, meaning that Barcelona has automatically equaled Atletico Madrid's points in the same number of matches. Barcelona will play an away match against Valencia soon, and that will put Barcelona 3 points ahead of Atletico Madrid if Barcelona is really able to beat Valencia.
