Luka Modric's nutmeg sets Real off down the right but Federico Valverde delays the pass to Karim Benzema.

By the time it reaches him, there's two players on him. He turns inside of one but Óscar de Marcos is there to clear before he shoots.

Federico Valverde tries to slide in Karim Benzema but it's just behind him.

Toni Kroos' pass is a bit sloppy but the deflection is kind to him and it's a throw-in to Real Madrid which Lucas Vasquez will take.

A change for Real Madrid. Federico Valverde is on for Rodrygo.

Ooo.

It comes in from the left, Nico Williams flicks it on, it falls to Raul Garcia and he shoots wide under pressure from David Alaba.

A few moments later, Garcia heads it just wide of the right post after he'd snuck in behind Alaba. Decent effort!

The intensity has been completely stripped. Carlo Ancelotti is looking to make some changes now.

This is better. Bilbao pile players forward and there's some neat touches around the edge of the box.

It comes through to Nico Williams but his cut-back is blocked.

A few more changes for Athletic Bilbao. Striker Oihan Sancet is among those to go off.

It's too easy for Real now. Karim Benzema is allowed to walk and trap the ball on the left while he waits for Vinicius Junior.

He leaves it for the youngster, who quickly turns and wins a free-kick. Benzema almost flicks it in at the near post but he's offside.

Sloppy. Iñigo Martínez wants Athletic Bilbao to clear it but instead it's passed back to him quickly, he can't get his feet out of the way and ends up poking it out for a throw-in inside his own half.

Iker Muniain shows his frustrations with a long range effort from miles out which goes straight into the stands.

It's been given! One of the Athletic Bilbao coaches is shown a yellow card too.

It's harsh. Yeray couldn't do much about it but his arms were raised and it's handball.

Karim Benzema strikes it into the ground. Yeray Álvarez slides to make the block and it bounces up off his toe and into his arms.

The arms were raised and it's gone to VAR.

Karim Benzema is in the box when the cross comes in from the right but it's way over him.

Nico Williams goes down the other end, looking to link-up with his elder brother Inaki Williams, but it's intercepted.

Real immediately look to set Vinicius Junior on his way with a ball over the top but he's way offside.

The flag took an age to go up though!

Off we go again. More goals please!

Here comes Nico Williams! Athletic Bilbao are going for it. Alejandro Berenguer is off.

Real Madrid probably deserve the lead but Athletic Bilbao have made it difficult and have had some space on the break. They are just missing that extra bit of quality.

Vinicius Junior has barely been involved for Real. Will he step it up in the second half? It's all been down the right through Rodrygo so far.
