BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Athletic Bilbao has held 10-man Atlético Madrid to another scoreless draw as Diego Simeone struggles to get his talented attack to click. The stalemate in the Spanish league followed Atlético’s 0-0 tie with Porto in the Champions League midweek. Atlético played a man down from the 78th minute when João Félix picked up back-to-back yellow cards. Antoine Griezmann did little in his first start since rejoining Atlético. Former Atlético star Radamel Falcao enjoyed a perfect debut with Rayo Vallecano. The Colombia striker scored 10 minutes after going on as a substitute to complete a 3-0 win over Getafe.
