Athletic Bilbao crush Simeone's flat Atletico
BILBAO: Athletic Bilbao thumped Atletico Madrid 3-0 in La Liga on a miserable Saturday afternoon for Diego Simeone’s side.
Athletic Bilbao overwhelmed Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid with a 3-0 victory in La Liga, marking a resounding win for the Basque club at their San Mames stadium. Nico Williams, Robert Navarro, and Oihan Sancet each scored for Athletic, who secured their second consecutive win under former Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic, following their first two defeats.
Atletico suffered their first loss of the season, lamenting a lapse in the second half after two quick goals from Williams and Navarro. Striker Julian Alvarez returned as a substitute from illness but failed to make an impact. Athletic's victory provided a boost, with coach Terzic expressing satisfaction, while Atletico must regroup for their upcoming Champions League match against Liverpool.
