With Atletico Madrid securing a win against Athletic club which is one of the tough teams to win against, they are still in the race. Currently residing at top position of the league but with one more game than Barcelona. In cop del rey semi final's first leg, they fought a draw against Barcelona on the home ground of Barcelona and they are again playing against them on second leg tomorrow in Atletico's home ground. If they beat Barcelona to it and reach the finals, it would be a huge achievement for team as they have been always third for many seasons now.
Atletico Madrid performed impressively at home even though they only won by 1 goal but that was enough to get 3 points and lead them to become the current leader of the standings because Real Madrid lost this week.
Bilbao actually has quite good strength this season so that the match against Atletico Madrid was quite fierce and even Bilbao put quite a lot of pressure on Atletico Madrid but Atletico Madrid's defense played quite disciplined in this match.
In another match, Real Madrid lost quite surprisingly against Real Betis even though in the 10th minute Real Madrid had taken the lead first but their team's performance actually got worse as if they didn't have a clear rhythm of play, either because of Jude's absence or because Real Betis was able to close down the movement of Real Madrid players but what is clear is that I see Real Madrid's game is very bad and they deserve to lose.
