eal Madrid and Athletic are set to clash in the 32nd round of the Spanish championship. This week, both teams took part in the European Cup, with each achieving contrasting outcomes. The Real Madrid vs Athletic Club match will kick off at 20:00 UK Time.
The enchanting allure of Real Madrid in the Champions League has diminished. The team is unable to reach the final every season under any circumstances, and even when they do, winning is not guaranteed. This season, it is evident that Los Blancos will not secure their place in the asset; they now face the possibility of winning nothing at all. Ancelotti’s team has just exited the Champions League, having underperformed compared to Arsenal, who secured victories both at home and away with scores of 0:3 and 1:2.
In other tournaments, Real Madrid performed admirably. However, he has already encountered failure in the Spanish Super Cup. In the Primera, the team currently trails Barcelona by four points, and I doubt that the Blaugrana will permit the pursuer to close such a gap. Madrid still has a chance to compete for the Cup, but the same Barça awaits them in the final. This trophy alone does not suffice for the team. It is not particularly shocking to come across news regarding Ancelotti’s resignation this season.
In contrast, Atletico is performing quite well. This week, the team competed in the return quarter-final, not in the Champions League, but in the Europa League. It was set to face Rangers, and the outcome was evident from the start – 0-0 and 2-0. In the semi-finals, the Basques will face Man United, who have just made headlines with their performances against Lyon.
Athletic’s achievements extend beyond just the European Cup. It demonstrates commendable results in the Primera, particularly considering its level. The team, with 57 points, currently holds fourth place, a position it is unlikely to relinquish, as it is six points ahead of fifth-placed Villarreal and third-placed Atletico. The Basques are currently on a streak without losses, although they have recently begun to alternate between draws and victories.
