Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao Preview and Livestream
Not just because of usual challengers Barca’s desperate situation, but also through their own attacking verve and brilliance, Real Madrid have got themselves into a comfortable position at the apex of the Spanish League. With city neighbours Atletico Madrid also faltering, 13 points and 4 places behind, a more perfect situation could not exist for Los Blancos fans at the moment. Propelled by Karim Benzema’s 13 goals and 7 assists, the white half of Madrid have been superb under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti. Madrid fans will definitely expect a similar dominant performance from their team as they visit Bilbao this gameweek.
In a tale of contrasting fortunes, luck has not favoured Athletic Club of Bilbao this season. Los Leones put in a timid performance at the Bernabéu just a couple of weeks back in a disappointing 1-0 defeat. Marcelino’s men will need to learn and adapt quickly from that result if they want to climb from 11th place in the table and get closer to achieving their European ambitions this season.
