Athletic Club hosts Real Madrid at San Mamés Barria as La Liga returns to our screens.

Athletic Club finished 8th last season. Ernesto Valverde will look to kickstart the new season strongly but faces formidable opposition in Real Madrid.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, returns to Spanish football following the team’s tour of the United States. Los Blancos finished second in the league last season.

Real Madrid changed its first team with the arrival of Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund. The club also brought Fran Garcia and recalled Brahim Díaz, who was on loan at AC Milan.

Karim Benzema moved to the Saudi Pro League before the new season, leaving the number nine position vulnerable. However, Joselu would stand in his place.
