Athletic Bilbao 1-2 Real Madrid: 5 Talking Points

#2 Madrid\'s clean-sheet run comes to an end.

Real Madrid’s perfect defensive streak came to an end with Bilbao scoring in the 67th minute

Real have had a spetacular start to the season, having not conceded a single goal in any of their past games. The resolute back line had remained unbroken and seemed to have luck on their side as well, with Granada having a perfectly legal goal getting written off at the Bernabeu.

This time though, there was no room for ambiguity, as Sabin Merino headed home. It was a streak that was bound to end, and in the absence of injured captain Sergio Ramos, was likely to be sooner rather than later.

But Madrid will be disappointed that Keylor Navas, who has hit a purple patch following a terrible summer where his move to Manchester United broke down in the wee hours of the deadline day, was left picking up the ball from the back of his net for the first time this season.
