Héctor Herrera again received the confidence of Diego Simeone, but this time he fell short like Atlético de Madrid. The ‘colchoneros’ fell 2-1 to Athletic Club de Bilbao and lost the right to rely solely on themselves to win the league title.
The Mexican midfielder was started for the fourth consecutive day . Unfortunately for the people of Madrid, it did not shine as it did last week . Disputed 59 ′ minutes, played 65 times the ball and completed the 94. 6% of their passes. However, he had four losses. In the general calculation, the ‘Zorro’ did not play badly, but his performance was influenced by the low collective performance.
He was replaced by Thomas Lemar, who could not change either the dynamics of the party. The team started badly and ended badly, bringing little danger to the rival goal. The ‘lions’ did not lower their arms despite being tied, they continued to seek maximum success until they achieved it.
GET NERVOUS TO THE LEAGUE!

The defeat kept Atlético de Madrid in first place in first place , but it could only be momentarily. They have a difference of two points with respect to Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, could vanish if the Catalans win in the match they have pending the previous day .
Now it is Barcelona who depends on themselves and has everything looking to add a La Liga title to his record. Those led by Ronald Koeman are in a very positive dynamic after having won the Copa del Rey. The season went from being a disaster to being, if nothing else, good. A double would taste like glory for them.
For their part, Atlético de Madrid is going through a decline rarely seen. Let’s not forget that they came to enjoy an advantage greater than the 10 points. Having the best defense in the tournament might not be enough for Héctor Herrera’s team.
There are five finals left for Madrid. Much will depend on the state of mind, more than the football, winning the tournament. These are the matches to be played:
Elche and Valladolid are two teams that they fight relegation. Real Sociedad is playing its pass to the Europa League and Osasuna is floating in the middle of the table. Of course, everything will probably be decided in the final against FC Barcelona, at the Camp Nou.
