ATHLETIC
The local team begins its new stage without Aduriz. Garitano's men still have options to enter Europe after the two points left by Valencia and they will have to start that path against one of the toughest rivals in the championship. Of the last seven times that Atlético visited San Mamés, on just one occasion the locals took the three points.
Ace to follow: Williams. After Aduriz's departure, the striker assumed responsibility for the Basque team's goal.
