Environmental fatigue is noticeable. The end-of-season breakdown and the intensity of the Cup took their toll on an Athletic team that failed to win either of the two games it played after winning the title. However, it is advisable to take strength from everywhere to face this last sprint in the best possible way, because the red and white team depends on itself to enter the Champions League positions.
On the same night, Valverde’s men have a litmus test in front of them against a direct rival such as Atlético de Madrid. A high voltage fight not only because of what is at stake, but because of the breeding ground that has been brewed for the month. The colchoneros are eager for revenge to reduce the 6-0 partial achieved by the people from Bilbao between the League and the Cup.
The relationship between both fans and the fact that the Madrid team did not send tickets for Athletic fans made the atmosphere even more heated. Knowing what Simeone’s team is playing and keeping in mind everything surrounding the match, it is advisable to focus on strictly sporting matters and leave anything that distracts.
The lions still have real options to compete in the top continental competition next season, so no one should give up, because this Athletic team still has a lot to offer.
