23 May – 20:00 | La Liga | Santiago Bernabéu


Real Madrid v Athletic Bilbao Preview

Real Madrid CF will close out a frustrating season at the Santiago Bernabéu knowing the La Liga title has already slipped away.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side sit 11 points behind champions Barcelona and will finish second, marking a campaign without silverware. However, Los Blancos remain formidable at home, collecting 46 points from 18 matches — the second-best home record in the division behind Barcelona.

Real Madrid recorded a commanding 3-0 win in the reverse fixture earlier this season and have historically dominated this fixture, boasting 125 victories in 249 meetings. Athletic have not won at the Bernabéu since January 2021.

Visitors Athletic Bilbao arrive with little left to play for after a 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo extinguished their slim European hopes.

Ernesto Valverde will take charge of his final match before departing, with Edin Terzić set to succeed him. Athletic have endured a dip from last season’s fourth-place finish and Champions League qualification, now sitting 12th.

The Basque side have taken just one point from their last three league matches and have struggled for consistency away from San Mamés.

While Athletic will be motivated to give their outgoing coach a positive send-off, Real Madrid’s strong home record and superior attacking depth make them favourites to finish their campaign on a high.
