    GOAL - Real Madrid 3-1 Athletic Bilbao

    Karim Benzema

    Luka Modric plays a through-ball to the Frenchman, who slots it into the far corner.

  4. Real Madrid 2-1 Athletic Bilbao

  9. Real Madrid 2-1 Athletic Bilbao

    Thibaut Courtois launches the ball up field to Rodrygo, who finds Isco but his route to goal is blocked.

  10. Real Madrid 2-1 Athletic Bilbao

    Good play by Inigo Lekue down the right and he finds Inigo Cordoba, whose shot is blocked.

    Now it's fine defending by Sergio Ramos to clear a Yuri cross. A great spell from the 10 men.

  11. Real Madrid 2-1 Athletic Bilbao

    Corner to Athletic. An ideal chance to equalise.

    Real make a change immediately after that goal as Rodrygo replaces Lucas Vazquez.

  18. goal
