Real Madrid experienced a real hell in Bilbao and were defeated by Athletic Club (2-1). The Whites are now 4 points behind Bar\u00e7a<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

San Mam\u00e9s did justice. Real Madrid<\/strong> visited Bilbao to face Athletic Club<\/strong> at home on Matchday 16 of LaLiga EA Sports 2024\/25<\/strong> and returned to their old ways. A team without football and without soul was more than deservedly defeated by the Basques (1-2) and once again moved away from FC Barcelona<\/strong> in the league table.<\/p>

Ernesto Valverde’s<\/strong> team was vastly superior from the first minute, although both teams were barely able to create any danger in the first 45 minutes. The VAR <\/strong>was close to ‘giving’ a new penalty to the Merengues for an alleged foul on Rodrygo<\/strong>, but the main referee, S\u00e1nchez Mart\u00ednez, avoided another nonsense and the two teams went into the break with the score tied at 0-0.<\/p>

Athletic Club sealed the victory in the second half<\/h3>

Upon returning from the locker room, the superiority of the Basques was rewarded by Berenguer<\/strong>, who took advantage of a rebound from Thibaut Courtois<\/strong> and opened the scoring. The Whites could have equalised from the penalty spot after Aguirrezabala <\/strong>brought down R\u00fcdiger<\/strong>, but Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 continued his ‘fall into hell’ and missed the penalty again<\/a>.<\/p>

However, Jude Belligham<\/strong> did extend his scoring streak and levelled the score with his fourth consecutive goal, but an error in the exit of Federico Valverde<\/strong> left Guruzeta <\/strong>one-on-one with the Madrid goalkeeper and ended up deciding the game in favour of the home team.<\/p>

In this way, those led by Carlo Ancelotti<\/strong> are once again moving away from Bar\u00e7a <\/strong>in the league table and losing ground in La Liga. The Whites remain on 33 points, while the Catalans cling to the top with 37 points after their thrashing of Mallorca <\/strong>(1-5). Athletic Club<\/strong> took the three points, but football is the winner.<\/p>
