A super win for Atletico Madrid, and also for Diego Pablo Simeone, he need that more than the team, after some very bad results they need this win to consolidate the spot on next champions league, a lose in this match can destroy all the next season proyects.
I was expecting more from Bilbao because we all remember how they destroy A Madrid in the cup games, but seems like Atletico finds the problem and fix the issue.
Diego Simeone is a good coach although the boring style he adopts in his games and Atletico Madrid is a top team, so it wasn't very unexpected to see them winning Athletic Bilbao for many people.
That victory increased the gap between these two teams by 6 points so two out of five to six rounds left will be necessary for Real Madrid to be the winner followed by the other three teams.
