Here is a quick summary of events, final results & scorers.

| Muniain for Bilbao |
ATHLETIC DE BILBAO defeated 1 - 2 SLOVEN BRATISLAVA away in their Group F Europa League clash. A deserved win overall with good play & always with the initiative that managed to control & keep away the home-side dangerous moments. Bilbao scored first via SUSAETA in the 13th min from a MUNIAIN play, who himself scored the second & the winner in the 40th min. Earlier however GUEDE managed an equalizer in the 34th min that meant little in the end for the home Club.

| Falcao |
ATLETICO DE MADRID played CELTIC GLASGOW in the Group I match with the home team winning 2 - 0. Atletico played well & showed good signs of improvement, especially from their new signings (Diego, Turan & Falcao) , getting their play together with some quality moments. Two of those names stood out, with FALCAO scoring his first goal in Spanish Football & for Atletico in the 3rd min with a header, & DIEGO RIBAS scoring the second & the tranqility goal in the 68th min.
Atletico de Madrid has been shouting for seasons the need for a creative midfielder & DIEGO tonight appeared to stamp this authority, class & candidacy for the rest of the season: outstanding. Turk Turan also played well - he gave the "death pass" to Diego who scored - & can only get better with more matches.
However, before the second goal, the Scots looked dangerous on occasions as they defended in block & looked to find opportunities with counter-attacks. The Spaniards were being frustrated since their first goal by the strong defence & in their attempts to attack made mistakes to which Celtic pounced on. However the Atletico second goal put water on the Celtic fire & the Spanish Club was unlucky not to have scored more goals.
Good win, but better was the image that Atletico gave with their play.
