Three talking points ahead of Athletic Club vs Real Madrid | La Liga MD 38
Three talking points ahead of Athletic Club vs Real Madrid | La Liga MD 38 Real Madrid will take to the field for the final time this season tonight, and it will be against Athletic Club de Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabeu. With the league title already decided, not much rides on the game or the eventual result, but the match will still bear significance as it represents the end of several chapters at the club. The last time Athletic Club locked horns against Real Madrid this season, Los Blancos ran away with a 3-0 win away from home.
Given that the Basque side are not enjoying their best moment in terms of form, especially with just one win in their last five games, Real Madrid will look to capitalise on their chance to finish the season strong tomorrow. Madrid Universal brings you three talking points ahead of Real Madrid vs Athletic Club de Bilbao. Farewell to the stalwarts Carvajal will play his final game for Real Madrid.

Having lost Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Nacho Fernandez, and Karim Benzema in recent years, it is now the turn of Dani Carvajal to bid the club of his dreams adieu. The Spanish full-back has not seen much playing time this season and never quite returned to his former level after the injury he suffered to his knee.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold now at the club to replace him, it is time to leave. Carvajal, thus, will say goodbye to Real Madrid , the Bernabeu, and the club faithful on Sunday night in what will be an emotional affair for the veteran stalwart. Alongside him, David Alaba will also bid the fans and the stadium goodbye as his contract approaches expiry and the club have decided against renewing his deal.
The past two years have not been easy for him either, but one cannot forget how he was a pillar in Real Madrid’s defence a few seasons ago and the impact he had on the team when he was at his best.
