    FT: Athletic 1-2 Real Madrid! The match in Bilbao is over! The game is settled for Real Madrid, who manage to win their last game of 2021. Benzema, who has undoubtedly been Madrid's best player this year, closes the game in style with a brace to give them the win. Oihan Sancet pulled one back but there were no more goals all game. Good performances from both goalkeepers. Happy Holidays, thank you all very much!

    HT: Athletic 1-2 Real Madrid! The first 45 minutes in Bilbao come to an end and Madrid are still ahead. All three goals were scored in the first 10 minutes and the match started very interesting. A quick brace from Benzema in 7 minutes seemed to go all in Madrid's favour, but in the 10th minute Sancet scored a good goal to close the gap. Back in 15 minutes...

    GOAL for Real Madrid! It looked like a harmless chance on the left flank but Benzema and Vini came together to work magic. A great pass from Vini to Kroos, and the German's first touch was enough to set up Benzema who scored a beautiful goal from the corner of the box. The Frenchman made it 1-0.
