Laurent Abergel saw his name up in lights when space opened up in front of him 25 yards out but he fires just over.

Houboulang Mendes was in acres of space to his right. The pass was probably the better option but it looks like the skipper pulled rank.

An entertaining first 45 at San Mames comes to a close.

A frankly ridiculous start brought three goals in 10 minutes - two of them absolute belters.

I have high hopes for the second half.

That's a decent stop from Keylor Navas.

Armand Lauriente tries a shot from just outside the box that deflects off Presnel Kimpembe but the PSG goalkeeper pushes it away from danger.

That miss is even worse!

It's lovely from build-up play from Lionel Messi, controlling a ball over the top, jinking forward down the right and playing the ball with the outside of his foot to Angel di Maria at the far post, but the former Manchester United man blazes over from eight yards.

PSG should be level.

Achraf Hakimi's low cross from the right falls to Georginio Wijnaldum in space right on the penalty spot, but he scuffs his effort wide of the post.

Some wonderful managerial touchline theatrics from Bilbao boss Marcelino after Real Madrid won a free-kick near the touchline.

Head in hands, hands outstretched, skipping along his technical area, loud chuntering. The lot.

It did look a soft free-kick to be fair.

Lorient have kicked-off the second half.

PSG have made a change at the break. Nuno Mendes, who struggled during the opening 45 minutes, is replaced by Sergio Ramos.

The whistles rain down from the San Mames crowd as Real Madrid have their first sustained spell of possession for a while.

Real slowly gain a modicum of control after a frantic 25 minutes.

This is a great game played in a great atmosphere.

The home crowd certainly sense their side are well in this despite that horror start.

Unai Vencedor should do better when he collects the ball inside the penalty area but blazes over.

Carlo Ancelotti is looking a little concerned on the touchline.

Half-time at the Stade du Moustoir and Lorient are good value for their lead.

They rode their luck when Icardi drilled wide and Messi hit the post, but they have been a constant threat on the counter attack.

Monconduit's goal was fantastic as well.

Is their woeful run of form about to come to an end?

Well, that escalated quickly...

We are off at San Mames!

Oooh, that's so unlucky!

Lionel Messi (he's got potential that lad) looks to guide the ball into the far corner from the edge of the box but the ball smacks off the woodwork and away!

Real Madrid are without 11 players through Injury or Covid-related issues, including David Alaba and Luka Modric, while Athletic Bilbao are down eight.

Eden Hazard is fit though as he makes just his second start since September in a front three alongside Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior.

Athletic Bilbao XI: Agirrezabala; De Marcos, Nunez, Yeray, Balenziaga; Zarraga, Vencedor, Dani Garcia, Muniain; Sancet, Inaki Williams.

Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Lucas Vazquez, Nacho, Militao, Mendy; Fede Valverde, Camavinga, Kroos; Eden Hazard, Karim Benzema, Vinicius.

I've just seen a replay of that Moffi miss again.

It doesn't get any better.

Oh no, how on earth have Lorient not scored there?

Another rapid counter sees Terem Moffi played clean in on goal. He's six yards out and Keylor Navas is already on the floor, he HAS to score, but Moffi instead tries the clever dinked finish and the ball lobs into Navas' hands.
