Atlético Bilbao

Another big game on Sunday night, Real Madrid comes in the Basque Country. I hope they won't repeat the performance from the last games at San Mames, cause they've won their last three trips to Bilbao in La Liga by the same scoreline: 3-0.

Gareth Bale won't play for Real tonight...

Athletic completely outplayed Real in the first half, though no goals.

1:1

I really hope that this team will be the Champions League participant in the next season.

You'd have to be brave to bet against them. You really have to admire Bilbao's ability to reinvent themselves after losing their best players and not being able to bring in outside players.

They enjoyed their 'Community Shield' victory. Class in fairness.

By the way, as has been pointed out by Dodge earlier in the thread, if any of the mods are floating around these parts maybe the thread title should be changed to 'Athletic'.
