Inaki Williams got rid of Militao quite easily but he did not want to continue his run, preferring to send the pass to a partner at the far post, but the pass in question is not strong enough, and Courtois can seize of the balloon.

It’s the break at the Bernabeu

Half-time is whistled on this huge opportunity which should have allowed Real to take the lead just before the break. Opportunities on both sides, goalkeepers inspired, the first 45 minutes were pleasant for Karim Benzema’s last in the Madrid jersey. The Frenchman was rather discreet.

27′ Real insists

Real’s interesting movement with rhythm, fast transmissions. The action culminates in a flat right foot from Rüdiger which flies into the stands. He was well placed at the entrance to the area, with a clear view of the Athletic Bilbao goal. The German international prefers to laugh regarding it.
