Quotes
“Rodrygo stood out in this game because he scored both goals. In the first 10 minutes we weren't well set up, but the team played well again and looked confident," Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said after their win over Sevilla.
"We put on a solid performance. Rodrygo did well in the centre forward role and he can also play there. He has different attributes. If you can dribble through the middle you have a better chance of scoring than if you dribble out wide.
"Because of his quality, it's easier for him to find opportunities in this area. He doesn't have the physicality for aerial clashes, but he has significant qualities.”
Head-to-Head
Madrid claimed a 2-0 win over Bilbao in their last meeting in La Liga with the match taking place at the Estadio San Mames on 22 January 2023.
The Whites are enjoying a 15-match unbeaten run in the league against the Lions having recorded 11 wins and four draws.
