Basically in La Liga for them this normal state of affairs, perhaps only with the exception that they do not have to fight for a place in the Champions League, but it is not so often that teams like Girona appear that rise above Atletico.
For Atletico today, victory is more important, so I think that Girona is unlikely to win today, especially since there are losses, Tsigankov will miss the game due to injury, and even in case of defeat, Girona will be 4 points ahead of Atletico in the table, which is very acceptable, but for Atletico a draw is not the best result, because Bilbao can beat them on goal difference, they will play with Villarreal, also a difficult opponent.

I thought the same about the Girona game and Atletico Madrid really finished them off by 3-1.
Actually Girona scored a very early goal to get ahead but this was still not enough to stop Atletico Madrid. Griezmann played a really important role in the win by scoring two goals as well. He is still a very crucial player for this team without doubt.I don't expect Villarreal to be a huge problem for Athletic Bilbao honestly. Athletic Bilbao already won away by 3-2 before. I expect an even more convincing win this time. The players must be very happy and motivated after winning the Copa del Rey title.
