2. Real Madrid drop points against Athletic club:
Real Madrid has had a superb start under Julen Lopetegui so far this season in La Liga. But the fatigue of the international break clearly showed in their match against Athletic Bilbao. The San Mames is always a tough stadium for opposing teams and it proved to be no different for Real Madrid.
Most of the players had an average and sloppy first half but Athletic Club was relentless in their effort and got their first goal in the 32nd minute from Iker Muniain. Athletic did get more chances to score post this as well but could not due to some excellent defending from Ramos and Casemiro.
Trending
In the second half, the match turned quite physical with five of the Athletic players and two Real Madrid players- Carvajal and Vazquez receiving yellow cards. But the introduction of Isco in the 61st minute reaped an instant reward for Lopetegui as he equalised two minutes later.
The match ended 1-1 which was a result which the Basque side would have taken any day. After this tough match, Real Madrid will face Roma at home in the UEFA Champions League match.
