Match Preview: Real Madrid vs. Athletic Club – Sunday, 8 PM
- Real Madrid faced a shocking exit from the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal and going out with a staggering 5-1 aggregate loss – a rare sight for the defending champions.
- Rumors suggest that Carlo Ancelotti may be stepping down as manager after the upcoming Copa del Rey final. Will this match be his swan song if Madrid can’t close the four-point gap to Barcelona in the meantime?
- Madrid has faced a troubling streak at home, registering three consecutive defeats against Valencia and Real Sociedad earlier this month. They haven’t lost four home games in a row since 2019. Adding to their woes, Kylian Mbappe will be absent due to a red card from last weekend.
- Meanwhile, Athletic Club is riding high on the wings of success after their impressive 2-0 victory against Rangers in the Europa League, setting them up for a semi-final clash with Manchester United. The dream of adding silverware to their trophy cabinet is alive!
- With the UEFA Europa League final scheduled to take place in Bilbao this year, the stakes are particularly high for Athletic Club. They continue to chase their dream of European glory.
- Currently sitting fourth in La Liga prior to the weekend’s action, Athletic Club is eyeing a Champions League spot for next season. However, securing a win at the Bernabéu has proven elusive, with only one victory in their last twenty-one visits to the stadium.
