Champions League Spot on the Line! Atlético vs. Athletic: A Key Clash
This Sunday, Atlético de Madrid Women face Athletic Club in a crucial match for Champions League qualification. The match, which will take place at the Centro Deportivo de Alcalá de Henares, is a real final for that coveted third place, which gives access to the preliminary round of the European competition.
The Rojiblancas, who currently occupy that position with 49 points, are only one point ahead of the team from Bilbao. A victory would give Atlético an important four-point advantage with two matchdays to go, virtually sealing their qualification.
The remaining schedule presents challenges for both Atlético, who will visit Eibar and host Levante Badalona, and Athletic, who will play against Espanyol and Barcelona. The team must recover the good feelings shown in the last home matches, where they achieved victory against Valencia and Tenerife.
Athletic, led by former Atlético player David Aznar, arrives in good shape as a visitor, having scored 19 of the last 21 possible points away from their stadium, which makes them a formidable rival. A match that promises excitement and in which the Atlético players will seek to give their all to ensure their presence in the next Champions League.
