A change for Athletic as Iker Muniain comes off, with Markel Susaeta coming on. Disappointing display from Muniain, but Susaeta's got what it takes to test the Real defence too.

Another chance for Real goes begging as Gorka Iraizoz storms off his line to block at the feet of Karim Benzema, played in behind the Athletic defence from an angled Isco through ball.

Cristiano Ronaldo then heads one down into the box, but there's nobody following up. Athletic have all hands on deck and clear the ball straight back to the Real defence.

Great defending form Pepe as Athletic look to break quickly through Inaki Williams on the counter. The Real centre-back shows his experience to just lever the forward off the ball, winning a goal kick in the process.

Gareth Bale effortlessly chests down a Toni Kroos cross-field pass to plant the ball sweetly onto his left foot. Off he goes, running at the Athletic left-back, but he is soon outnumbered as players come across to cover.

Real's Blitzkrieg start to the second half has petered out a bit, and the centre-backs are having to push very high up with the ball.

Athletic have done well to soak up a bit of this Real pressure. Whatever Carlo Ancelotti said at half-time has worked wonders. The power of the eyebrow.

Toniwater: Real Madrid have flat-lined since the turn of the year after blasting out of the blocks. Toni Kroos needs to step up big time and show his class!

Gareth Bale - he's been quiet so far but that's probably the closest Real have come to scoring. His cut-back is clawed away by Gorka Iraizoz, with Cristiano Ronaldo having already visualised his chest-puff celebration. Breathless, and much, much better from Real.

Much better from Real though too! Karim Benzema is nanoseconds away from connecting with a cut-back but Salvador Balenziaga is there to toe-end the ball to safety. End-to-end stuff.

Athletic on the attack practically straight from kick-off as Inaki Williams surges towards the Real box.

He almost runs a bit too quickly for his own good though, and the ball works itself loose towards the chasing Real midfield.

And we are back under way at San Mames. Plenty of scribbling still going on in the Athletic dugout. Pens and papers down, please - the half-time break's over.

Over in the Netherlands, PSV have just increased their real-time lead to a cool 14 points over Ajax, Memphis Depay with the goal. Half an hour played in that one.

Ajax play Excelsior Rotterdam on Sunday.

Javier Pastore put the icing on the cake for Paris St-Germain with a late goal at the Parc des Princes as they warmed up for next week's Champions League clash against Chelsea with an emphatic win over Lens.

PSG are now back at the summit of Ligue 1, although Lyon will regain top spot if they win away at Montpellier on Sunday night.

Barcelona must be rubbing their collective hands together watching this. They play tomorrow morning (at 11:00 GMT) against Rayo Vallecano, a match anybody who's anybody will be expecting them to win.

Real are under pressure at the top. Carki Ancelotti was in bullish form in his press conference on Friday, swatting away the critics while pointing to his haul of three European Cups. But the Madrid press won't give him an easy ride if the scores stay the same, that's for sure.

Well we thought we'd have a few more seconds to see another corner for Real but the referee blows up exactly on time. He's even shown his watch to the players - see? Asier Illarramendi doesn't look too convinced.

Gareth Bale is trying to force a goal though, he forces a corner, eagerly scampering down the Real right. Cristiano Ronaldo is looking increasingly frustrated meanwhile. His looping header plays the corner back into the box, and Bale is penalised for challenging the goalkeeper.

One minute added on.

Just under five minutes to go before the break and still no sign of a Real comeback. This Athletic team look a real handful - good in possession and quick to press.

Another yellow card dished out by the referee - that's four so far. Asier Illarramendi is the guilty party this time, and it's for another cynical trip as play was opening up.

On the Real bench, assistant manager Paul Clement whispers into Carlo Ancelotti's ear. What plan are they hatching?

Xabier Etxeita goes into the book for a cynical challenge on Cristiano Ronaldo, just as it looked like he'd fashioned some space to run at goal. No points for what Ronaldo's next thought was going to be.

On his return from a two-match suspension Zlatan Ibrahimovic put Paris St-Germain 2-0 up against Lens from the penalty spot, but the home side did have not had it all their own way.

Yoann Touzghar pulled a goal back for Lens with just over 10 minutes left to play at the Parc de Princes, but any hope of a tense finale has just been ended by Blaise Matuidi's goal for PSG.

Real are yet to register a shot on target, although when Gareth Bale's effort hit Gorka Iraizoz's legs it looked like it might have actually been onside.

Athletic really are very quick to press their opponents, the players in Real's side can unlock the defence with just one slick movement.
