Real Madrid continued their impressive form as they defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-0 in the La Liga match at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.

The game started with Real Madrid dominating possession and creating numerous opportunities for their attackers. However, it was not until the 27th minute when the breakthrough finally came from the home team.

Lucas Vazquez played a delightful through ball to Vinicius Junior who beat the goalkeeper with his pace and finished calmly to give Real Madrid the lead.

The visitors struggled to create any meaningful chances after that and Real Madrid increased their lead in the 45th minute when Karim Benzema headed in a cross from the right-hand side.

In the second half, Real Madrid continued to dominate the game and added another goal in the 68th minute when Rodrygo Rodrigues scored from close range after being set up by Vinicius Junior.

The victory means that Real Madrid have now won six consecutive matches in all competitions and keep their title challenge alive.

For Athletic Bilbao, it was a disappointing day as they failed to score despite having more shots on target than their opponents.

The loss will be a blow to their hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League but they will still have a chance to qualify if they can win their remaining games.

Overall, Real Madrid showed why they are considered one of the best teams in Europe and continue to dominate the league. They will be looking forward to their next match against Sevilla on Wednesday.
