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.
In my opinion, he is the most arrogant coach I have ever seen, apart from Jose Morinho, almost 11/12 of them have very big ambitions even though they often underestimate their opponents, but often fail in important matches, for example final matches or when they meet teams from their city, often losing control and even losing concentration in giving direction to his team, which makes Atletico Madrid always fail to win and often lose important trophies for Atletico Madrid, this is what Atletico Madrid management must continue to do to find a replacement for Diego Simone who is no longer worthy Even though today gave Atletico Madrid a victory, they never gave Atletico Madrid a prestigious trophy. In my opinion, many people really regret this.
