Real Madrid in the LaLiga season this season is the team that shows the most equal form. The vice-champions of Spain lead confidently in the league table, which, with a weak disposition at the same time, makes the team the main favorite to take the first place at the end of the tournament.
Real was the clear favorite
Although the matches at San Mames are not easy for any team, Athletic Bilbao’s team has had a lot of problems in recent years against Real Madrid. For the last time, “Los Leones” won with the Warsaw club at their own stadium in March 2015. Since then, in direct matches at this facility, the “Królewski” team won four times, and ties were scored twice.
The form of both teams in recent weeks also indicated that the guests were deservedly considered favorites. In the five previous matches, he scored 13 points, while the Basque team just five.
Great goals
The first fragments of this meeting were almost cosmic. After just seven minutes, Real was leading 2-0 after two hits. The first hit of the French was especially beautiful, showing off a wonderful shot from the edge of the penalty area. However, he answered very quickly – in the 10th minute Oihan Sancet scored a miraculous contact goal.
Although the clash at San Mames in such a short time gave the fans three goals, in the later parts the game calmed down a bit. Until the end of the first half, the competition was at an even level, just like after the change of sides.
In the second half, the picture of the game has not changed. Both coaches made a few changes to the offensive, but the score hasn’t changed anymore. With a 2-1 win, Real Madrid have strengthened their lead in the league table and are now 46 points ahead of the second Sevilla by eight “points”. Athletic, on the other hand, has 24 points and is ranked 10th.
