Zapping World Eleven TOP 10: The most profitable transfers in history
The reception of the Basque supporters on arrival at San Mames, with hostile chants and rocking of the bus, had alerted the Real Madrid players, although going beyond the limits. Athletic Bilbao had their sights set on upsetting Madrid and it was confirmed with a victory for the Basques, who had to wait until the 89th minute to make the difference, with a superb individual movement from Berenguer who sent a shot from the left in the corner of Courtois’ goal (1-0, 89th).
A goal that rewards the selflessness of the Basque players who, failing to create chances, have constantly disrupted the Madrid game. Carlo Ancelotti’s men had only a few meager opportunities to get their teeth into, before a fine strike from Casemiro repelled by the opposing goalkeeper (80th) or an attempt from Isco who fled the target in added time ( 90+4th). Without Karim Benzema, the Merengue will have been too limited to avoid a scathing elimination!
to summarize
The quarter-final between Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid changed at the end of the match, with a goal from the Basques who offered the Merengues in the quarter-finals of the King’s Cup (1-0). A meeting where the Merengue were particularly jostled.
