Athletic Bilbao stun Real Madrid to blow open title race

Sport

Athletic Bilbao celebrated reaching the Copa de Rey final by upsetting Real Madrid with a 1-0 victory at the new San Mames Stadium.

The hosts, who defeated Espanyol in midweek, showed no signs of a cup hangover and went ahead courtesy of Aduriz’s fine header midway through the first half.

And although the visitors upped the tempo in the second half and hit the woodwork through a fantastic Gareth Bale effort, Bilbao were worthy of a victory that blows the title race wide open.

It means that Barcelona will take over at the top of La Liga should they beat Rayo Vallecano at the Nou Camp on Sunday.
