Athletic Club vs Real Madrid: La Liga Match Highlights as Mbappe ...

Real Madrid suffered a 2-1 away defeat in their latest La Liga clash against Athletic Bilbao at San Mames on Wednesday, November 4. Kylian Mbappe once again missed a penalty. Carlo Ancelotti's side had the chance to close the gap on league leaders Barcelona, who have recently dropped points. Los Blancos, however, failed to do so, suffering a defeat in a crucial game.

Alejandro Berenguer Remiro gave Athletic Club the lead in the 53rd minute. Kylian Mbappe had a golden chance to equalize in the 68th minute from the penalty spot. The Frenchman, however, missed his spot kick, just as he did against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League a week ago. Mbappe, though, played a big role in Los Merengues' equalizer as his effort came into Jude Bellingham's path, who slotted the ball in the back of the net.

As Los Blancos looked to amp up their effort in search of a winner, they suffered yet another cruel blow. Gorka Guruzeta regained the lead for Athletic Club two minutes later, which turned out to be the winner in a high-voltage game.
