Real Madrid suffered a 2-1 loss to Athletic Bilbao in their latest La Liga encounter on Wednesday, November 4, at San Mames. Carlo Ancelotti’s side missed a crucial opportunity to close the gap on league leaders Barcelona, who had recently dropped points.
The match turned tense in the second half when Alejandro Berenguer Remiro opened the scoring for Athletic Bilbao in the 53rd minute. Real Madrid had a golden chance to equalize in the 68th minute when Kylian Mbappe stepped up for a penalty. However, the Frenchman failed to convert, marking his second penalty miss in a week after a similar mishap against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League.
Despite the miss, Mbappe contributed significantly to Real Madrid’s equalizer. His effort set up Jude Bellingham, who calmly slotted the ball into the net to level the score.
Just as Los Blancos looked to push for a winner, they were dealt a decisive blow. Gorka Guruzeta restored Athletic Bilbao’s lead just two minutes later, and his strike ultimately secured victory for the hosts in a high-stakes encounter.
The defeat leaves Real Madrid missing out on a key opportunity to tighten the title race in La Liga.
