Atletico Madrid will continue their low participation in the Champions League.
The "colćoneros" struggled for a long time this season in the fight for 4th place, they were even fifth, but they solved everything in a direct clash with Athletic Bilbao - they celebrated in Madrid with 3:1 and escaped with six points.
Theoretically, of course, it is not over yet, there are still five rounds left, but few doubt that Simeone's team can drop such an advantage.
The scorers for Atlético were Rodrigo De Paul at 15, Angel Korea at 52. and Unai Simon (own goal) in the 80th minute.
He scored the goal for Bilbao Niko Williams in the 45st minute.
Montenegrin national team member Stefan Savić rested due to suspension.
Earlier today, Girona returned to 2nd place by winning away to Las Palmas - 2:0, they have a point more than Barcelona, who will only play their match of the 33rd round on Monday, at home against Valencia.
