Atlético does not fail against Athletic and leaves its advantage against Barça in +6

The Athletic of Madrid played this Wednesday the last of his parties postponed in League, by what right now already has the same meetings that FC Barcelona​ and Real Madrid, his two big perseguidores. Whites and culés expected that the ones of the Cholo Simeone 'punctured' in front of the Athletic Club, but the colchoneros went back to win with work and sacrifice and carried the duel by 2-1 with goals of Marcos Llorente and Luis Suárez.

But the rojiblancos did not have an afternoon-easy night and had to trace back against a group bilbaíno that it was quite upper in the first part. The ones of Marcelino García Toral did quickly with the control of the crash and put in serious difficulties to the Madrilenian in his stadium. With Iñaki Williams very mobile that went back crazy to the saga of the Atleti generated the 0-1 of Iker Munian in the minute 21 of game.

The forward confined in the area by the right and put a good balloon backwards to the mediapunta, that hit him bitten to the ball and beat to a surprised Jan Oblak, that did not expect the shot. After the so much, the 'lions' followed dominating almost to his antojo and the colchoneros hardly upset the area of the Basques during the first-half. The ones of the Cholo suffered and no enteraban of at all, just as it happened them days before against the Real Madrid in the second time.

However, this team rojiblanco has a lot of lives and happened the injury time of the first 45 minutes empató thanks to a head butt of Llorente that touched in Unai Núñez. Another goal of the ex madridista that left 'tocadísimo' to the Athletic of face to the second part. The ones of Marcelino did not know sobreponerse to this target and his second time was quite underneath of the first, something of what took advantage of the Athletic, that yes improved a lot.

The venues were to more and little by little adueñaron with the balloon and with the feelings. The 'lions' no longer roared as before and the ones of Simeone them 'killed' very soon thanks to a big action of Luis Suárez inside the area. The charrúa dribbled to Unai and the central was very clumsy when demolishing him of absurd form and commit penalti. The 'touch' was minimum, but sufficient so that the referee pitara and the VAR did not correct him.

Luis Suárez decided the party from the penalty spot

Suárez transformed the maximum penalty with mastery to arrive to the 18 goals in League and for to the dessert give him the three points to his team. The Athletic almost did not arrive in the 40 remaining minutes and the Madrilenian knew to suffer and carried a worked victory to put six points above the FC Barcelona and 8 above the Real Madrid, that see the title a bit more far.
