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.
I'm still wondering why ATM has defended Simeone as head coach for so many years instead of hiring a new coach to run the club and many people are also raise the same question like. simeone is still coaching the club even till messi and ronaldo are playing on the different league. Simeone spent so many years on ATM and got nothing special in return, as did Atletico Madrid and he likes wenger on arsenal. His is a monotonous coach with no strategy and a tendency to rely on his old philosophy which is complicating the playstyle of atletico madrid at this time.
Although he was assisting Atletico Madrid in being far away, I believe that qualifying for the UCL is the most significant achievement for Atletico Madrid this season considering the fact that if atletico madrid is not also performing quite well. UCL spot is the only target owned by ATM.
Real Madrid is getting closer to the trophy, thanks to Arda Guler who has helped many bettors win their bets and even though is still youth but he may become a winning button for real madrid in the future. . This young star has been performing admirably in the match against Sociedad. Madrid only needs two matches.
It appears that treble winners are still possible for Real Madrid, given that it still has two competitions remaining in addition to La Liga.
