San Mamés is preparing to experience an interesting classic tomorrow between Athletic and Real Madrid. Oihan Sancet, a key player in Valverde’s team’s last two league games against Real Sociedad and Rayo, doesn’t know what it’s like to beat the merengue team. Scoring goals marks the whites, but defeating them does not.
So far, the Navarrese have played a total of nine official matches in the competition against Real Madrid: eight in the Liga and one in the Super Cup. The balance in the tournament of regularity in these crosses between lions and meringues is one draw and seven white victories. In the other tournament, the rojiblancos also surrendered to the Madrid team with Sancet at the grass level.
The only points added by Athletic with Navarrese on the field started in the 2022-23 season. The lions then earned a 1-1 draw at the Bernabéu with a goal from Sancet. The local goal was signed by Benzema.
Both footballers played a leading role in the clash between Athletic and Real Madrid played at San Mamés in the 2021-22 League. Sancet also opened the scoring and Benzema sealed the visitors’ comeback with two goals.
