Unravelling Real Madrid face Athletic Bilbao Liga test
Saturday Star
|April 19, 2025
REAL Madrid are still reeling from their Champions League destruction by Arsenal but must immediately refocus when they face Athletic Bilbao tomorrow lest the La Liga title escape them too.
-
The high-flying Basque side visit a Santiago Bernabeu where the crowd is expected to unleash their anger after the Spanish champions’ bitter end to their European title defence.
Fans who grumbled in Madrid’s capacity for a comeback against Arsenal were 2-1 on the right to progress 3-1 on aggregate.
One of the shock wears off it usually turns to fury, with Real Madrid’s stars braced for whistles and jeers at the weekend.
French superstar Kylian Mbappe will not have to face the noise after his suspension last weekend, with Bellingham suspended for the Athletic clash and he also sustained an ankle issue against Arsenal.
On the other hand Vinicius Junior may come under fire despite scoring Madrid’s only goal in 180 minutes against Mikel Arteta’s side.
