Real Madrid Fire Blanks Against Athletic Club
23 December 2019
Farai Dziva|Real Madrid drew 0-0 at home to
Athletic Club on Sunday night and ended 2019 in frustration.
Zinedine Zidane’s side extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 13 games, but failure to score at the Santiago Bernabeu means Los Blancos have now drawn their last three La Liga matches.
After rescuing a point in the 95th minute away to Valencia last weekend, Madrid drew 0-0 at Camp Nou in El Clasico on Wednesday night and were looking to head into the winter break level with Barcelona by beating Athletic on Sunday.
But Real were denied by the woodwork three times and unable to convert any of their 20 chances as they dropped two points off the pace at the top of the table after 18 rounds of matches.
