Real Madrid
There will be fireworks when Athletic Club and Real Madrid face each other at San Mames in the La Liga derby. The Lions came from behind to beat Real Betis at the weekend, with the team defeating the Andalusians for the 9th consecutive time in front of home fans. Athletic aim to move closer to the Champions League berth, but they will have a mountain to climb in the postponed fixture. Dani Garcia is back from suspension, whilst all Asier Villalibre, Daniel Vivian, Peru Nolaskoain, and Yuri Berchiche are all out of contention with injuries.
Los Blancos, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with Cadiz. Since the league leaders are eager to pick up all three points from Wednesday’s clash, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All Rodrygo, Gareth Bale, Marco Asensio, Andriy Lunin, Marcelo, and Luka Modric have been tested positive for coronavirus, while Mariano Diaz and Dani Carvajal remain in the treatment room.
Highlighted Player (Iker Muniain):
Iker Muniain was once considered one of the most talented players in Spain, but he obviously failed to reach his full potential. Munian is an attacking midfielder, who is capable of playing as a forward as well and he began his youth career at Chantrea. In 2005 he made probably the best decision of his career as he joined Athletic Bilbao youth academy.
He made his debut for Athletic Bilbao on 30 July, 2009 in a 1-0 loss to Young Boys in the Europa League. Iker Munian impressed in the 2011/2012 La Liga campaign with the Lions, scoring nine goals in all competitions, but he failed to make a bigger progress. The Athletic Bilbao product has been struggling with injuries and it has to be noted that the injury he suffered against Sevilla on 4 April, 2015 could have ruined his career.
However, he returned to action on 20 December, but he was playing below expectations in the second half of the season. Iker Munian made his Spain debut on 29 February, 2012 in a friendly against Venezuela. La Roja won the match 5-0 and Munian came as a substitute in the 74th minute of the match.
Highlighted Team (Real Madrid):
Real Madrid is a Spanish football club based in Madrid. Real Madrid participate in La Liga (Primera Division) and they have won 32 domestic titles. On the other hand, los Blancos have won 13 European Cup titles and that is the main reason why they are considered the biggest football club in the world.
Real Madrid play their home matches at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and the capacity of the stadium is 84,454. Cristiano Ronaldo is the club’s most successful footballer in the 21st century and the Portuguese superstar has won two Golden Ball awards.
The likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Zinedine Zidane, Raul Gonzalez Blanco, David Beckham and Iker Casillas are star players who were part of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu outfit in the past. Real Madrid’s bitterest rivals are Barcelona, but the rivalry between local rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is big as well. Real Madrid’s home kit is white and, as a result, the team’s nickname is los Blancos (the Whites).
