Kylian Mbappé is at the center of another Real Madrid defeat as Los Blancos leave Bilbao with zero points.
Real Madrid came into its match against Athletic Bilbao on a 21-game road unbeaten streak in La Liga. Carlo Ancelotti's men had successfully closed the gap to Barcelona atop the table and pulled within one point of the Catalans at the weekend. Now, the gap is back to four points after Real Madrid suffered a 1–2 defeat to Ernesto Valverde's squad.
15 minutes after Álex Berenguer gave the hosts the lead in the second half, Real Madrid was awarded a penalty that Mbappé took and missed. Jude Bellingham brought his side level in the 79th minute, scoring his fourth goal in as many La Liga matches, but it was not enough to salvage a result. Gorka Guruzeta capitalized on a defensive mistake from Fede Valverde and secured all three points for Athletic Bilbao.
Here's three takeaways from Real Madrid's defeat to Athletic Bilbao.
