Athletic Bilbao 1-2 Real Madrid: match summary Real Madrid ended the calendar year on top of LaLiga, with an early Christmas present in the form of Karim Benzema provided both the goals in an opening flurry of attacking intent from the visitors that may well have been part of the Italian schemer's gameplan, given his lack of resources. Madrid were missing 11 players for the trip to Bilbao due to a covid outbreak and Ancelotti had little in reserve on Wednesday, holding out until the 85th minute to make his first change of the game. It was a risky strategy against a side as renowned for their fighting spirit as Athletic, who will have gone into the game wondering just how long Madrid could weather a sustained attacking storm. As it transpired, Benzema put the matter back to the hosts with two expertly taken goals within seven minutes of kick-off, providing Madrid with a cushion that would prove invaluable in an onslaught lasting 80 minutes from the moment Oihan Sancet pulled one back with 10 minutes on the clock. Athletic racked up 15 shots in total and kept Madrid pinned in their own half for much of the game, occasional forays by Vinicius and Eden Hazard serving only to offer brief respite. However, a combination of stout defending, particularly from Éder Militão, who has grown into his role as a senior central defender following the departures of Sergio Ramos and Raphaël Varane, and some excellent midfield work from Casemiro's deputy Eduardo Camavinga, restricted the hom...

Real confirmed the end of Benzema's 14-year stay at the Bernabeu on Sunday, before a reported move to Saudi Arabia. Oihan Sancet had earlier lashed the visitors in front from close range. • How do Real Madrid prepare for life after Benzema? Sancet fired home after Thibaut Courtois had kept out his initial attempt, while the Belgium goalkeeper also saved a first-half penalty from Mikel Vesga following Toni Kroos' handball. Rodrygo wasted Real's best chance to win the game late on, diverting Vinicius Jr's low cross over the bar from inside the six-yard box. Benzema cut a largely peripheral figure throughout his final game, but his spot-kick - rolled into the middle of the goal - provided a fitting conclusion to a glittering career in Spain which included five Champions Leagues and four La Liga titles.
