Atletico Madrid a 1-0 win at Athletic Bilbao, moving them above their opponents into third place in La Liga on Saturday. Atletico now have 19 points from nine games, overhauling Bilbao who slipped to fourth on 17 points.
Leaders Barcelona and Real Madrid, both on 22 points, face each other in the Clasico at the Bernabeu on Sunday. After a first half of very few chances at San Mames, Atletico took the lead through Griezmann in the 47th minute when the forward received a neat pass from Alvaro Morata and sent a low first-time shot past goalkeeper Unai Simon.
It was the France striker's third LaLiga goal this season, and first in the league since the end of August when he scored the only goal in Atletico's win at Valencia.
Morata earlier thought he had scored after 10 minutes only for the referee to rule it out for a foul in the build-up after a VAR review, the Spain striker having netted from tight angle.
