A weak Athletic has today lost to Real Madrid in San Mamés. Ernesto Valverde's team has been weak in defense and has failed in the few occasions of goal he has had, while the white team, led by Mbappé, has hit the goal and has generally been superior in the match.
The match began with two Real Madrid occasions, both stopped by Simon, who stopped Mbappé when he was alone in front of him, and a second shot from outside the Vinicius area.
In the 6th minute, Mbapp did not miss his second chance and left the entire red-white defense behind and stood alone in front of Unai Simon, overtaking him with a good shot.
Athletic's first score, by the hand of Guruzeta, went up in the 13th minute after the white flood of the first few minutes. Then Vinicius had another chance in the 18th minute, but the Alavés doorman responded with a big shot.
The red-white team seemed touched, but after stealing the ball due to a mistake in the exit of the white ball or under pressure from Athletic, after a pass from Nico Williams on his heels , Guruzeta shot into the area (minute 25). Courtois saved his team by sending the ball to corner.
In the 29th minute, Courtois again starred in front of Berenguer. The Navarro shot from within the area and the doorman pulled out a big hand.
Athletic has created no more occasions in the first half and has remained very weak in defense, as evidenced by Vinicius' intermission in the 33rd minute, which sent the ball to the outside of Simon's post, and another occasion of the Brazilian striker in front of Murgia's doorman (m.37).
Simone's great performance, however, could not prevent the second goal of the whites on the edge of the break. Camavinga sent a center to the net head-on in the small area after a long play by the white team in the face of red-white passivity (m.42).
After the break, Jauregizar made a big shot and Courtois sent the ball to Corner (m.48). Shortly afterwards, after a small quarrel between the players of both teams, Mbapp scored the third goal of Madrid with a shot from outside the area that the Frenchman shot comfortably, as no one pressed him (m.58).
Before the end of the match, Simon had time to make another big stop, a shot from Valverde.
