Athletic Bilbao Defeats Real Madrid 2-1

Real Madrid faced a 2-1 defeat against Athletic Club in a La Liga match, marking their second league loss of the season. Kylian Mbappe, who has recently been under pressure for his performances, missed a crucial penalty in the 68th minute after his attempt was saved by Athletic goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala. Athletic initially took the lead through Alex Berenguer in the 53rd minute, but Jude Bellingham equalized for Madrid in the 78th minute. However, just two minutes later, Gorka Guruzeta capitalized on a mistake by Federico Valverde to score the winning goal for Athletic. This loss leaves Madrid four points behind league leaders Barcelona, though they have a game in hand. The defeat continues Mbappe's recent struggles, with Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti urging patience as the forward adapts to his new team.
