Player to Watch: Alvaro Morata
We can see Atletico Madrid winning this game, so our player to watch comes from this side and it is Alvaro Morata, the experienced Spanish striker and the best Atletico Madrid scorer in La Liga this season.
Alvaro Morata scored seven goals and added one assists in his 21 appearance for the club in the Spanish league, so Athletic Bilbao will have to be focused on stopping him in this duel.
