Athletic Club 2-1 Real Madrid — xTears 18.36 (04/12/24)

Athletic Club won 2-1 against Real Madrid on 4 December 2024 during Matchday 19 of La Liga, even with the xTears split tilting slightly the other way. Total damage: 18.36 xTears.

Even with the xTears split leaning slightly the other way, the heaviest moments for Athletic Club still ran through Álex Berenguer 53' goal (+1.52 xT) and Gorka Guruzeta 80' goal (+1.87 xT).

The scoreboard and xTears did not tell exactly the same story: Athletic Club punished better without fully owning the emotional volume. Gorka Guruzeta came off the bench and delivered the winning swing. The pain was self-inflicted, and it stung: missed penalty (Kylian Mbappé at 68').
