#2 Athletic Bilbao do not deserve to be 15th
The Basque outfit are currently placed 15th in the La Liga table, having amassed only 14 points from the 14 games they have played this season.
Jose Angel Ziganda's side have struggled to grind out the results to put them in a comfortable position in the table. However, the Basque outfit produced a commendable performance against the reigning La Liga champions and look destined to secure a top 10 finish, if not something better.
The San Mames outfit had 11 shots compared to Madrid's 19, with 4 of them being on target - exactly the same number as the Santiago Bernabeu outfit.
Ziganda's men will have to dig deep and produce similar commendable performances if they are to recover from this early season slump and compete for a top 7 finish - something they barely managed last season.
