After a heated clash at the Super Cup which ended with a red card, Real Madrid will be hosting new found rivals Athletic Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. The match is scheduled for 1st February with kickoff at 18:00 GMT.

After coming three points clear from long term rivals Barcelona, the Los Blancos will be looking to extend their hold of the La Liga title against new found rivals. The Super Cup went down as a captivating clash between the two sides with Valverde emerging as the man of the match.

Coach Zinedine Zidane has added a number of reinforcements for the squad with the signing of winger Reiner to the squad. Despite the squad depth, the defense has been the main contention for Zidane especially with the injury woes at the club.
