Stop: after a series of nine games without defeat since December 1, Real Madrid of Zinédine Zidane was eliminated in the semifinals of the Spanish Supercup Thursday in Malaga by Athletic Bilbao (2-1) , who joins FC Barcelona in the final on Sunday.
The evening without by Lucas Vazquez
Visibly washed out, the Marseille technician's men were unable to lift their heads after the double from Basque striker Raul Garcia (34), first from the right (18th) on a bad recovery from Vazquez, then on a conceded penalty by the same Lucas Vazquez for a belt in his area (38th) ... despite the goal of Karim Benzema (75th) and two strikes on the uprights of Asensio.
Double failure for the “White House”, defending champion: not only do the Madrilenians deprive themselves of any possibility of winning a 12th coronation in the competition, but they miss out on a clasico in the final against the eternal rival, Barça, which would have been one of the most attractive posters of the beginning of 2021.

Zidane still on the go
"It's not a disaster," Zidane defended.
A disaster is when you don't try, when you don't give everything on the pitch.
The players gave their all.
In life, you can't always win, but that's what you will try to do from the next match ”.
Not a disaster but a new tornado of criticism that will befall the French technician, while Atlético has margin in La Liga and the team is still suffering as much to create chances and score.
