Bilbao, Feb 12: Real Madrid restored some measure of pride after a midweek Cup mauling at the hands of Real Zaragoza as they chalked up their fifth league victory in a row with a 2-0 win at Athletic Bilbao on Saturday (11 February).
Real, who thrashed Bilbao in the Cup last month, made the ideal start after five minutes when Zinedine Zidane released Robinho with a perfectly weighted pass and the Brazilian raced through to a shoot past goalkeeper Inaki Lafuente to score his fourth goal against the Basques in the league and Cup this season.
Bilbao enjoyed the lion's share of possession in the second half, but although the home side put together some promising attacks they nearly always broke down on the edge of the area.
