Athletic Club will face Real Madrid on December 22, 2021 at 20:30 UTC at San Mames stadium in Bilbao, Spain. The game is a part of LaLiga. Real Madrid will seek to get back to winning ways on Wednesday evening when they travel to San Mames to face Athletic Bilbao.
In Spain’s first division, Carlo Ancelotti’s team are presently six points ahead of second-placed Sevilla, with Athletic in ninth place, having collected 24 points from their first 18 matches of 2021-22. Athletic have won five, drawn nine, and lost four of their 18 La Liga matches this season, totaling 24 points and placing them ninth in the rankings, just five points behind fifth-placed Atletico Madrid.
Only Sevilla (two) and Real Madrid (one) have lost fewer La Liga games this season than Marcelino’s side, but they were on an eight-game losing streak heading into Sunday’s showdown with Real Betis. Athletic, on the other hand, returned to winning ways at San Mames over the weekend, with Inaki Williams scoring twice in a 3-2 triumph, and the Basque club will now be aiming for their sixth league victory of the season.
The Lions, who finished 10th in Spain’s top flight last season, visited Real Madrid in the league earlier this month and were defeated 1-0 at the Bernabeu thanks to a first-half goal from Karim Benzema.
Athletic have not won a La Liga match against Los Blancos since March 2015, and have lost five of the last six league meetings between the two sides, including a 1-0 defeat at San Mames last season. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s 10-game winning streak in all competitions came to an end on Sunday as they were held to a goalless draw at the Bernabeu by Cadiz.
Los Blancos struggled to make an impact against the Yellow Submarine despite missing a number of first-team players due to coronavirus, but it has been an impressive La Liga campaign for the capital heavyweights, who have won 13, drawn four, and lost one of their 18 matches for a total of 43 points.
Despite their outstanding run, Real Madrid are just six points ahead of second-placed Sevilla, who have a game in hand, but Ancelotti’s side is 14 points ahead of defending champions Atletico Madrid and 16 points ahead of Barcelona, both of whom have been far off the pace this season.
Los Blancos have gone unbeaten in all competitions since a 2-1 loss at Espanyol in the league on October 3, and their incredible run of form has also seen them advance to the knockout stage of the Champions League as section winners, but they have been drawn against Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16.
