With Barcelona almost on the verge of clinching the back-to-back La Liga title, Real Madrid will hope to end the season on a high note. And what’s better to achieve that target than string a winning run till the end of the season. Also, there is a small matter of finishing second on the table, with Madrid very much in fight with Atletico Madrid for the best of the rest tag.

There is no denying that Barcelona are the deserving champions. There is a clear gulf in the quality of Madrid and the Catalan squad. The truth is Madrid need to spend big in the summer to challenge the might of Barca which will increase even further considering Barca are set to welcome Frenkie de Jong to Camp Nou next summer, with Matthijs de Ligt possibly choosing the same option.

But the return of Zinedine Zidane has brought the feel-good factor back to Santiago Bernabeu. The results have improved as well with Madrid winning three of the last five games.

ATH vs RM Dream11 FANTASY TEAM:

INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:
Real Madrid have recorded 11 wins in 16 home games this season, but have also suffered four defeats at the Bernabeu. Athletic Bilbao meanwhile have won just three games away from home, while losing six times.
But it’s worth noting that Madrid haven’t beaten Bilbao at home in the last two games.
Bilbao are in good form and could extend that unbeaten streak at the Bernabeu to three matches.
But we back Madrid to win this match.
