However, <b>Ra\u00fal Asencio<\/b> returns to bolster the backline after missing recent matches.<\/p>\n<p><b>Athletic Club<\/b> are without suspended midfielder <b>Oihan Sancet<\/b> (red card vs Barcelona), a major absentee who normally anchors their midfield. However, <b>Aymeric Laporte<\/b> returns from illness and <b>I\u00f1igo Ruiz de Galarreta<\/b> comes back after serving a one-match ban, providing crucial reinforcement in central areas.<\/p>\n<h2>Mbapp\u00e9&#8217;s Form and the Offensive Firepower on Display<\/h2>\n<p><b>Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/b> arrives at San Mam\u00e9s in sensational form, having scored <b>5 goals in his last 2 matches<\/b> across all competitions.

Athletic must employ a disciplined defensive approach because one moment of vulnerability against this firepower could prove devastating.<\/p>\n<h2>Can Athletic continue their home dominance against under-pressure Real Madrid?<\/h2>\n<p>This fixture presents a defining moment in <b>La Liga&#8217;s<\/b> title race. <b>Real Madrid<\/b> cannot afford a seventh consecutive game without victory (six away + needing to avoid loss), yet they face an Athletic team unbeaten in two matches and fortified by home advantage at one of Spain&#8217;s most intimidating stadiums.<\/p>\n<p>The Basque club&#8217;s <b>2-1 victory last season<\/b> at San Mam\u00e9s proves they&#8217;re capable of an upset. With <b>Mbapp\u00e9&#8217;s<\/b> lethal finishing versus Athletic&#8217;s resolute defense, tonight will test whether Los Blancos can click when it matters most\u2014or if their recent malaise
