    GOAL - Real Madrid 1-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Toni Kroos

    BOOOOM.

    Vinicius Jr has his back to goal and lays the ball off to Toni Kroos, who runs onto the ball and hits a first-time strike from 22 yards which flies past the keeper into the back of the net.

  2. INJURY TIME

    Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Two minutes added on for the Raul Garcia red card basically.

  3. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Pinball in the Athletic box as Federico Valverde pokes a snap-shot wide.

  4. YELLOW CARD

    Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Real winger Lucas Vazquez is booked for a bad tackle on Alex Berenguer.

  5. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    How aren't Real Madrid ahead? Luka Modric crosses and Vinicius Jr shoots straight at Unai Simon from close range. Good reactions from the keeper.

  6. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Athletic have a corner but Yeray Alvarez heads over the bar.

  7. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    A genuine chance (to have a chance) for Athletic Bilbao. Oscar de Marcos has the ball on the right side of the box and Alex Berenguer is in the centre ready to pounce - but the cross isn't strong enough to reach him.

  8. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Better spell from Athletic - but they end up running it back to their own half.

  9. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Vinicius Jr hits one miles over the bar from 20 yards.

    The Brazilian has rebranded himself Vini Jr this year but I'm not calling him that.

  11. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Waste for Athletic as Ander Capa hits a cross over everybody in the box. Athletic attacks are being rarer.

  12. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Toni Kroos has a crack from distance but it's wide. Kroos has been involved with most of Real's moves so far.

  13. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Athletic have a corner. It could actually have been worse as Thibaut Courtois desperately tried to keep a deflected cross in play and almost ended up handling outside his box.

    Courtois catches the corner.

  14. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Toni Kroos and Sergio Ramos, recently recovered from injury, heads over.

  15. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Real's second corner.

  16. Get Involved

    #bbceurofooty

    jbramley: Los Leones for the win. That sending off is merely a flesh wound for the Basques.

  17. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Now Federico Valverde goes close but curls wide from 12 yards after being picked out by Vinicius Jr.

    We're seeing a pattern developing here - Real are pushing.

  18. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Great feet by Karim Benzema to get a bit of space but then his shot is blocked by Yeray Alvarez.

  19. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Three shots each, but no efforts on target yet.

  20. Real Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao

    Good Real move but Toni Kroos' long-range shot hits an Athletic head.
