Real Madrid are yet to drop points in the La Liga 2018-19 football season so far having won three out of three played and new coach Julen Lopetegui is hopeful his side continue their juggernaut in the league. They next face tricky opponents in Athletic Bilbao away who are a difficult side to beat at home. Real Madrid have a fit squad to chose from, and the Los Blancos are travelling with a 20-man squad to Bilbao. Coach Lopetegui has the problem of plenty at his disposal, and with so many star names available for selection, it is a headache only a select few coaches can have in the football world. The match information such as Athletic Bilbao vs Real Madrid time in IST, live telecast on TV channels, free live streaming online and further details are provided below.

The form of Marco Asensio is critical to defending European Champions run in the league, and the young forward was exceptional in the 6-1 thrashing of Croatia in the international break. Asensio was involved in five of the goals Spain scored which is exceptional when we consider his age. But, accommodating him along with another playmaker Isco will be a challenge as both Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale are the first names on the sheet at the moment. The duo has been in the goals for Madrid with both finally emerging from the shadows of Cristiano Ronaldo who left for Juventus.

Athletic had their last game before the international break postponed away at Rayo Vallecano due to renovation work going on at Estadio Vallecas for renovation work. They have drawn one and won one in the other two games, hence their season as a whole is yet to pick up. Bilbao’s no one keeper Iago Herrerin is suffering from a bicep tear and is not available for the game. Defender Inigo Martinez came on as a substitute for Spain and should be fit for the game after his recent injury troubles. Real Madrid will vary of the threat Bilbao posses at home, and this certainly represents their first away test of the season.
