REAL MADRID NEWS

Real Madrid lost their title to the arch-rivals Barcelona in La Liga already. There are six games to go until the end of the season, but even Atletico Madrid is probably too far away, with four points to spare. They are entirely focused on Champions League, where they'll play against Bayern Munich in the semifinal. Zinedine Zidane sent a mixed team on the pitch against Malaga last weekend, and he will probably do the same against Athletic Bilbao. The most of their star players will rest, while some reserves will have an opportunity to prove themselves.

ATH BILBAO NEWS

Athletic Bilbao had a disappointing season in La Liga as well. They are far away from the top six, which was the goal for the season, and this will be their worst league finish since the 2012/13 season when they finished 12th.  The coach Ziganda is leaving at the end of the season, and it is hard to expect he can motivate his players to perform well, even against the teams such as Real Madrid.
