An enraged Madrid awaits the lions in Malaga

Whenever they lose, they protest. They are white and immaculate. Nothing can disturb them.

They consider that the trip to Pamplona was avoidable in the middle of the storm. And the field was slipping, how cold it was. There is no right, they complain.

They have drawn against Osasuna. They have lost the lead. The same old story.

The meringues have left Navarra direct to Malaga to prepare for the semi-final match of the Super Cup against Athletic. Their protests are still heard from Bilbao. Thursday night, I hope they complain even more, and louder. It will be a good sign for the rojiblncos interests

At least the Athletic Marcelino should be as competitive as a few weeks ago, with Gaizka Garitano, fought in Valdebebas until the final whistle with one less from minute 10 for the expulsion of Raul Garcia. Let no one forget that there is a title at stake with two games in between. It is there, at your fingertips. You have to fight it.

Let's see what face this new Athletic offers us. It is still early. Perhaps against Ibiza, in the Cup, we will already see a more defined face in rojiblanco. On Monday 25, against Getafe, again in San Mamés, it will be time to draw conclusions.
