BILBAO: La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid's title bid was derailed again as they were beaten 2-1 at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday (Apr 25) by a late goal from Inigo Martinez, offering Barcelona the chance to go top of the table next week. Champions Real Madrid are second on 71 after being held to a 0-0 draw at home to Real Betis on Saturday. Atletico visit struggling Elche next before a blockbuster game away to Barcelona on May 8. "We're still fighting for the title and we believe we can win the five games we have left," added Koke. But Athletic looked closer to the energetic and intelligent side seen in their first few weeks under coach Marcelino.
