    Any piece of silverware is a big deal to Real Madrid and you can see what it means to the players.

    Karim Benzema and Thibaut Courtois high five, while David Alaba jumps into Toni Kroos' arms. The coaching staff are singing and dancing in a huddle on the touchline.

    Four minutes added on and we're into the second of those. Karim Benzema has a go at the two centre-backs before turning inside and keeping possession.

    Any late hope for Athletic Bilbao has surely gone with that. Thibaut Courtois is diving the opposite way and he still reacts to flick his leg towards the ball. Brilliant stuff.

    Real Madrid just have a few minutes to run the clock down now.

    Raul Garcia takes it and Thibaut Courtois makes a brilliant save with his left leg!

  8. RED CARD - Eder Militaopublished at 87 mins

    Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Real Madrid

    He's off too! The handball prevented the goal so it's a straight red.

    It's given but hang on, there's more!

  10. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 86 mins

    Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Real Madrid

    Another BIG chance for Athletic Bilbao and they should have a penalty.

    The cross is met by Raul Garcia, he heads it towards goal and it's going in before it hits Eder Militao's arm.

    VAR will checl but it has to be a penalty, surely?

    No Dani Ceballos yet. On comes club captain Marcelo for Real. Vinicius Junior is off.

  12. CLOSE!published at 85 mins

    Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Real Madrid

    Nico Williams teases Lucas Vasquez on the left and squeezes a cross in.

    It's a heavy touch from Eder Militao, falls for Nico Serrano and his snapshot deflects straight to Thibaut Courtois, who needed to be alert.

    A corner is flicked on at the near post by Bilbao but Real get it away comfortably in the end.

    Nico Serrano then has a go from long range but it's straight at Thibaut Courtois.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 81 mins

    Young Spanish striker Nico Serrano is on for Iker Muniain for Athletic Bilbao.

    Straight into the wall from Inigo Martinez.

  16. Postpublished at 80 mins

    Vinicius Junior gives away a needless foul outside the area, bringing down Nico Williams who was running towards Luka Modric.

    A decent chance for Bilbao...

  17. Postpublished at 79 mins

    Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Real Madrid

    Dani Ceballos is getting ready to come on for Real Madrid. A familiar face for Arsenal fans.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 77 mins

    Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Real Madrid

    A ball is fizzed in from the left and it pops up and takes a wicked deflection which Thibaut Courtois has to deal with at the near post.

    Raul Garcia and Yeray Alvarez then both go for a header at the back post from the corner and it's wide. They got in each other's way!

  19. Postpublished at 75 mins

    Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Real Madrid

    Toni Kroos lays it off to Lucas Vasquez. He tries to play in Luka Modric but there's way too much on the pass.

    Modric doesn't bother chasing. Vasquez asks why and Modric almost shrugs him off as if to say 'I'm getting old!'

  20. Postpublished at 73 mins

    Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Real Madrid

    Nico Williams comes across to the left but he can't keep the cross in play.

    Those changes have definitely improved things for Bilbao but they still haven't tested Thibaut Courtois. Raul Garcia's header the closest they have come this half.
