Team News
Real Madrid
Athletic Club
- Real Madrid kept their title challenge on track thanks to a late winner by Alvaro Morata against Levante last weekend.
- The youngster is unlikely to be handed a start against Athletic though as Karim Benzema returned to training this week and should be fit enough to start up front.
- Sami Khedira should also return in midfield after taking a full part in training this week, but Mesut Ozil may miss out after suffering an ankle injury last time out.
- Athletic continued their upward curve in the league with a second consecutive win at home to Sevilla last weekend.
- However, that victory came at a cost as Ander Herrera saw his second red card in as many league games and Oscar de Marcos is also suspended after seeing his fifth yellow card of the campaign.
- Their absence will force Marcelo Bielsa into a reshuffle which could see Carlos Gurpegi move forward into midfield with Mikel San Jose coming into the heart of the defence.
My god!!! Why you change first benzema's goal?? Rectify !!! :(
Benzema 2 goals. Change it please
Hala Madrid!!
Aurtenetxe own goal.
I'd be more excited about this match if Athletic's form was up to par with last season. Well, they're still a formidable team and their latest matches haven't been as catastrophic as the first ones. Real have been playing very powerful so to speak in their home, the style of football Athletic plays might as well lead them to concede a lot of goals in this game.
You won a pollazo
59% possesion for Bilbao? I'm sorry but this can't be right!
i won.
Livescore.com also changed first benzema's goal to Aurtenetxe's own goal. So it's the right decision
