Athletic Bilbao will host Real Madrid (current La Liga leaders) in a match valid for matchday 21 of this 2021/22 La Liga season at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Basque Country. Here you can find all you need to know about this Spanish league game, such us when, where, at what time, and how to watch it in the US.
This game was to be played on January 19, 2022, however, La Liga has decided to advance it. The reason for this is that both Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao would have knockout rounds of the Copa del Rey round of 16 on that date in the event that they exceed the round of 32. It should also be noted that these two teams (together with Barcelona and Atlético Madrid) play the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia between January 12 and 16, which also complicates La Liga dates.
On the local side, they have beaten Betis 3-2, which brought them closer to the qualifying zone of the Europa League, one of the objectives that Bilbao’s team can aspire to at this time. In the case of Madrid, it remains the leader of La Liga, although if Sevilla manages to beat Barcelona this Tuesday, December 21, they will be very close to the “Merengues”.
