Atletico Madrid aims to rebound from back-to-back losses as they face Athletic Bilbao at Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday night, a crucial fixture in La Liga.
Diego Simeone’s squad currently occupies fourth place in the standings, holding a three-point advantage over Athletic Bilbao, who sits in fifth position. The two teams are engaged in a tight battle for securing a spot in the Champions League.
