Atletico Madrid proved their quality and they are now very likely to finish in the top 4 and indeed that is a worthy place for them, in terms of overall strength Atletico Madrid is slightly stronger than Bilbao so this victory is not a big surprise.
Atletico Madrid has better quality than Bilbao, so they deserve to finish in the top 4 and get a ticket to the Champions League next season.
And I think for Spanish representatives competing on the European stage, the Atletico Madrid team is one of the teams that is taken into account.
As soon as Simeone was able to fully concentrate on La Liga, Atlеtico immediately increased the difference between them and Bilbao, now it is 6 points, which I think will be enough to keep it for the remaining 5 rounds. By the way, Girona is also not slowing down, and yesterday’s victory even gave them the opportunity to bypass Barcelona, while they have not played their match in this round. Dovbyk was able to score another goal and is now two points ahead of Bellingham.
