* Bilbao hit late equaliser in 1-1 stalemate * Valencia slip three points behind Atletico (Adds Nuno quotes, results, byline) By Iain Rogers MADRID, April 9 (Reuters) - Valencia stumbled in the battle with Atletico Madrid and Sevilla for third place in La Liga when they conceded a late Aritz Aduriz equaliser in a bad-tempered 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao on Thursday. The three clubs are battling it out for both third place and a lucrative automatic berth in the Champions League group stage and fourth, which carries a spot in qualifying for Europe's elite club competition. With eight games left, Atletico are third on 65 points after they won 2-0 at home to Real Sociedad on Tuesday, three ahead of Valencia in fourth.
