Real Madrid won seven matches in a row to clinch the title

Irresistible Real Madrid. Zinedine Zidane's side are closer to the La Liga title after losing to Athletic Bilbao on Sunday. Sergio Ramos, the hero of the victory, scored from the penalty spot.

Real are running like horses after the resumption of La Liga, which was closed due to Corona-pandemic . Karim Benzema has not only topped the league table by winning seven matches in a row, but has also widened the points gap with ever-rival Barcelona.

At the moment, Real has 6 points in 34 matches. Barcelona is in the second place with 60 points after playing one match less. Lionel Messi will take on Villarreal late Sunday night.

If they win, they will have 63 points in 34 matches. In that case there will be a gap of four points with Real. But if they lose, Zidane's team will be ahead by seven points.

However, the victory against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday did not come easily in the Real camp. The first half ended goalless. In the 69th minute, Marcelo Rivera was fouled in his penalty box by Bilbao's Dani Garcia. The video assistant referee (weight) saw the referee gave a penalty.

Ramos put Real ahead with a cold header. Defender Ramos scored his tenth goal of the season. He has scored five goals in the last seven matches! "I am the best in the team at the moment in terms of penalties," said the Real captain.

Bilbao has taken the referee to task for the camp rate. Their claim is that the referee gave an unjust penalty. Second, five minutes after the goal, Raul Garcia was fouled by the referee despite Ramos fouling in his own penalty box. The atmosphere became heated with that.

There are also clashes between the footballers of the two teams. Asked at a press conference after the match about the refereeing, Zidane said: "Real are winning with the help of the referee. I am tired of hearing this allegation. Footballers should be respected."

Zidane is cautious as Real fans begin to celebrate after the win over Bilbao. "This victory is very important," he said. We shouldn't be complacent until we can be champions in terms of numbers. "
