La Liga: Real Madrid keep title defence alive after narrow win against Athletic Club
Real Madrid kept their La Liga title ambitions alive with a narrow 1-0 victory over Athletic Club on Sunday night.
Federico Valverde scored the game-winning goal in the 93rd minute, keeping Los Blancos in contention with Barcelona.
The result means Carlo Ancelotti’s side remains four points behind Barcelona.
Following their elimination from the Champions League in the hands of Arsenal in midweek, it seemed Madrid were heading for another disappointing result.
