Real Madrid V Athletic Bilbao: lines, statistics and review

Review of the Real Madrid match against Atletic Bilbao

Real Madrid will hope that they will put their disappointment of the Champions League behind them on Sunday when they host athletic Bilbao in Santiago Bernabeu.

Madrid saw that their hopes would successfully defend the Champions League on Wednesday that on Wednesday, because the defeat of 2: 1 in the quarterfinals scored a defeat against Arsenal home.

This output has significantly increased the supervision of coach Carl Ancelotti, whose future at the club is now in a significant doubt.

The Ancelotti route, which is associated with the empty Brazilian work, to extend its time in Madrid, would be a winding in Barcelona in the Laliga title race.

And the potential is that things get worse for Madrid and Ancelotti, and athletically dangerous opposition persecute their own exalted goal of the Champions League qualification.

Athletic progressed to the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday with a 2-0 win over the ranges, moving them a step closer to the home final in San Mames.

Athletic sits fourth in Laliga, nine points are purely from a sixth -ranked real Betis with seven games.

Apart from the home game with Barcelona on the last day, a trip to Bernabeu is the biggest Athletic test, although it is one who can attack with confidence when he won the reverse 2-1 in December.
