How Athletic club almost lost a nice game they had started against Sevilla was one of my craziest moments of the weekend. Athletic club opened the scoreline with a spot kick from the Spanish wonder kid, Nico Williams which gave the game a new wave. A second strike from Sannadi in the 43rd minutes made me feel the game has ended in first half before a suprise comeback to a 2-2 draw by Sevilla in the 60th and 72nd minutes and also took over the control of the game. A late 81st strike from Navaro saved the Athletic club.
I guess the coaches are taking note of the errors. I used to love Sevilla but since after winning my heart in the last Euro, I have become a Nico Williams lover and wouldn't love to see that team fumble. Athletic club has been a close rival of Sevilla for a long time and only narrowly wins in most cases with only Sevilla winning once in their last 5 games out of a 1-0 victory. Athletic club next game would be against Rayo vallecano and I'm sure it's going to be a 3-1 victory for the Athletics club.
Good win against such a tough opponent for Athletic. For me, Athletic club is main bronze medal contender among with Atletico Madrid now. After an unfortunate start of the season for "rojiblancos" we can expect an favorable outcome for Bilbao in this tournament. And great players like Nico deserve medal podium for their talent and performance. And their loyal supporters also)
It's not right to judge the entire league based on the results of one match. There are 37 more matches to play, and the league standings will be determined based on these matches. Atletico Madrid may have started the season poorly, but they are the ones who can fix it. I'm sure Simeone will take action in the coming weeks. Athletic Bilbao, on the other hand, nearly dropped points in a match they were ahead in. Barcelona is one of the teams that has played flawlessly so far. Also, from what I've seen, Getafe played well and won the match. The Atletico Madrid match was a big surprise for me; I didn't expect them to lose.
