38' The Athletic Bilbao midfielder hit the ground without the ball near him. Looks like a muscle injury.
38' Mikel San Jose warmin up and ready to come on for Iturraspe.
36' Ronaldo at the back post. He drives the shot wide. Marcelo crossed it into the mixer and it landed nicely to the Portuguese. He is disgusted with himself.

23' Kroos looks for Marcelo and misses the target completely. Throw Athletic Club.
22' Everything happening so fast here. Shot from Rico hits his own player and Real Madrid have a free. Athletic Bilbao looking dangerous when they attack. Likewise, Real Madrid always capable of breaking through and have had a couple of chances themselves.
21' Kroos shoots and Kepa saves. Nice move from Real Madrid but tame effort in the end.
20' Ball comes into Benzema and he is hit in the back but Real Madrid win it back. That's risky defending as Benzema caught in the back but the defender has to go for it, I suppose.
19' Really heated early on too. Raul Garcia and Dani Carvajal being talked to by the referee now.
18' So, so close. Athletic Bilbao knocking on the door here. Williams can't wrap his foot around the ball. Susaeta with two shots with the first being blocked.

12' Hectic start to this one.
11' Yellow card for someone? Raul Garcia gets a fist in the face from Ramos and hits the ground. Ramos lucky not to get a card.
11' Ronaldo cross is dealt with. Another one comes in from the other side this time but it's gone wide.
10' Varane throws Susaeta out of the way down the sideline and Real Madrid win it back. Very heavy-handed from the defender.
8' Eight minutes in. End to end! Iñaki Williams the latest but he's offside. And he missed also.
7' Athletic Club seem to have settled into this one. Lovely move sees Ronaldo play it out to Isco, he crosses to Benzema and he takes it down on his chest before driving a low shot against the post.
6' Another chance for the home side but Casemiro collides with Raul Garcia. He had the chance earlier in the move but couldn't get his toe to it.
5' Isco falls as he tries to win the ball and Athletic Bilbao looking to build now. Ramos pushes Aduriz, it looks like, in the back but Mateu Lahoz points at the attacker as if to suggest he initiated the contact.
4' Carvajal and Modric link up on the right and the right-back takes the last touch as it goes out for a goal-kick. Nice move by Real Madrid.
3' Benzema crosses and Athletic Club deal with it but Real Madrid straight back up the field.
2' Ronaldo on the right and he does a step over or two before dropping the pass backwards.
2' Marcelo with a tame enough cross into the penalty area. Cleared. Athletic Bilbao giving up possession early on.
1' We are underway at the New San Mames!
Some basque motifs unveiled at the new San Mames. Quite the atmosphere there it seems as the Athletic Club fans try to get behind their team in a bad spot! Can they lift their side out of the slump.
Given the fact that it's the same eleven as Juventus, worth reminding of what Max Allegri said about Isco in the line-up. He said, "he plays more centrally[compared to Bale] and makes them more unpredictable [in attack], but also makes them defensively more disorganised."
They've won just one in the last 10 after a fairly decent start to life under Ziganda.
This could be the worst possible time for Real Madrid to play against Athletic Bilbao. They were beaten in the Copa by Formantera during the week and are winless in five with their last win coming against Sevilla.
A couple of the players who played for both sides include Aitor Karanka and Luis Bergareche. There have been 10 players to don both shirts in total.
They won that game against Juventus. You can relive it here, if that's what you're into.
The exact same XI that started in Cardiff for Zidane.
Athletic's starting XI: Arrizabalaga, Iturraspe, Williams, Susaeta, X.Etxeita, Mikel Rico, De Marcos, Aduriz, Raúl García, Balenziaga, Núñez
Athletic Bilbao XI: Kepa, De Marcos, Etxeita, Nunez, Balenziaga, Iturrapse, Mikel Rico, Williams, Raul Garcia, Susaeta, Aduriz.
Real Madrid XI: Keylor; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo; Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Isco; Benzema, Ronaldo
Team news is coming in...
"Athletic are languishing in 16th place, are out of the Copa after losing to Formentera – enjoying their first season in Segunda B after promotion from Tercera last year – and are still not assured of progress from a fairly amenable Europa League group", writes the AS Oracle on the Basque side's plight this season. Read the rest of his crystal-ball prediction for this evening's game.
The reports in recent weeks have named Athletic's Kepa Arrizabalaga - recently called up for Spain and very likely to be on the plane to Russia next summer - as the chosen one to replace the Costa Rican keeper. Here's Zidane's take in Friday's press conference.
As tonight's spotlight will undoubtedly shine bright on both goalkeepers, here's an opinion piece in defence of Real Madrid keeper Keylor Navas, who has never managed to reach a transfer window without the rumour mill grinding out a potential replacement.
With Barcelona slipping up against Celta, Real Madrid will be seeking goals, goals, goals. Ronaldo will be hoping for the same, but he'll have to break his (new) San Mamés hoodoo - the Portuguese striker has come away empty-handed from four visits to the stadium the Basque side unveiled in 2013.
Here's how it stands at the top of the table after that draw in Barcelona:
Don't forget that we've also got live coverage of Barcelona's home clash with Celta Vigo, which is inside the final five minutes at the Camp Nou - and is all square...
