A complicated return to league action for Real Madrid after the international break with a visit to San Mamés. Second in the LaLiga, Toril's team will visit Athletic Club who sit in third, on league matchday 20 (12:00 pm CET).
In what will be a demanding month of March, our team are looking for a sixth consecutive victory, the fifth in the league, in the first of nine matches in three different competitions: 5 LaLiga fixtures, both legs of the Cup semifinal against Barcelona and the Champions League quarterfinal tie against Arsenal.
Athletic Club
The Basque team come into the match in third place in the standings and one point ahead of Atletico before the start of the 20th round of La Liga matches. Our rival also arrives with confidence after winning the derby at home against Real Sociedad (2-0) and beating Betis (0-4). At home they have lost three of their nine matches (5 wins and 1 draw). Midfielder Clara Pinedo is their top scorer with four goals.
